A bit more context:

Our executive packages put partners at the centre of influence on key issues throughout the public sector. 

Enjoy building a close working relationship with a member of our president’s team to inform, shape and lead the debate on a policy theme.  In doing so, executive partners can expect to create powerful and credible links throughout the sector. Partners will also take a seat on the Local CIO Council where they can help set and lead the vision and strategic direction for ICT and digital policy for local public services.  Through engagement in this group, partners will also be able to network throughout local government, with central government and with the third sector. These high-level connections allow lasting and meaningful relationships to develop. 

There are several other packages available to suit partner needs, all with virtual and face to face elements.

A bit more context:

Building on last year’s programme of events, we are pleased to offer new and improved partner opportunities for 20/21.

Our packages start at £2,500 and for this partners can attend three of our local meetings in person. With a choice of 10 regions, you can either use all three in one region or mix and match to suit your needs.

You will experience an engaged group and enjoy presentations, discussions and workshops with Socitm members. You can also have the stage for a memorable 2-minute elevator pitch to introduce yourself.

For the same cost you could attend five virtual meetings throughout the course of the year. These are small, intimate events and, depending on the size of the region and number of authorities, these events attract between 15-50 delegates.

If you would like to join one of our bigger national events, we have several options at different price points.

There is the option of joining one of our virtual events as either a panellist or presenter or joining us at our events held in the Midlands, London or Manchester, which offer the opportunity to host a workshop table for the day and put an advertorial in our magazine associated with the event.

And finally, our biggest event is our President’s Conference. The week-long affair will include a physical meet up for one day, with the remainder delivered online. It is an excellent opportunity to join in roundtable discussions and enjoy an evening of celebration when we announce our award winners and raise money for our chosen charity.

Therefore, we are excited this year to offer opportunities to help build your understanding of the challenges faced by our members now and in the future, and how you can help solve them with practical solutions. 

There are several ways you can support our members while bringing your brand to life within the public sector.
