LG Group / CLOA Culture, Tourism and Sport Conference
The Local Government Group's annual Culture, Tourism and Sport Conference has been highly successful over many years. CLOA has been a supporter for most of these, and the relationship began to be more structured some 10 years ago, beginning with the inclusion of the always popular CLOA Fringe meeting. For the last few years we have effectively been a strategic partner, with joint branding of the event, and had an increasing influence on the programme. CLOA Honorary Secretary John Bell is currently our lead for this, and if you have any suggestions etc you can contact him on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

LG Group / CLOA Culture, Tourism and Sport conference, 7 / 8 March, Cardiff
Next year’s conference will be 7/8 March 2012 at Holland House in Cardiff. Further details are now available here.
With the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Diamond Jubilee, Cultural Olympiad and countless local activities and celebrations, 2012 is going to be a huge year for local culture, tourism and sport services. But coming hot on the heels of the toughest financial settlement in a generation, and with budget pressures continuing:
- how can the services you lead exploit the opportunities of 2012 and beyond?
- how have your libraries, museums, sports and arts services adapted to budget pressures?
- how are you working with volunteers, social enterprises and the private sector to improve efficiency?
- how can culture, tourism and sport improve public health, inspire children and young people to learn and boost the economy? Confirmed Speakers include Rt Hon Hugh Robertson MP, Minister for Sport and the Olympics
