The SOLACE Public Services Conference is Wales’ essential event of the year for Chief Executives and senior managers in Welsh public service.

The theme for this year’s conference is Austerity - Change - Opportunity and features a keynote speech by Derek Jones, Permanent Secretary of the Welsh Government.

The economic, demographic, social and environmental pressures facing Wales in the longer-term have called into question many of the assumptions that underpin public service delivery. But we are in a unique position to mould an emerging Welsh public service model that will be sustainable in the face of prolonged economic and demographic pressure.

The Director of Wales Public Services 2025, Michael Trickey, will be speaking at the conference. Two reports will be launched.
