About
THE BEST NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY OF THE YEAR
Introduced in 2023, Ascendant by the Sea aims to provide the most focused platform for Local Authorities to come together and share insights. We ensure that practitioners are at the forefront of the event, with the majority of speakers being from Local Authorities themselves.
Networking
Throughout the conference we have planned several networking events and opportunities including an exhibition with other suppliers and evening activities. This year, we plan to allow even more networking time so you can make the most out of the conference.
