The MJ Future Forum North 2023 was set in the context of the upcoming months before a pivotal general election which could see a change of government. Weeks after the Autumn Statement, we dived deep into plans for public finances, the advent of artificial intelligence, how to prevent meltdown and whether the role of the monitoring officer is robust enough and much more.

We covered:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • The Autumn Statement 
  • Fiscal transparency: the challenge for local government
  • Climate change: the council role
  • What next for devolution & levelling up?
  • What Oflog means for the sector
  • Preventing meltdown: is the role of the monitoring officer robust enough?
