Conference

Building on the success of our 2025 event, PAI’s Strategic Public Procurement Conference 2026 returns as a strengthened, more connected forum, bringing together a growing network of procurement leaders, policy makers, legal experts and industry partners who are acting as real change champions across the public sector.

This is more than a conference…It is a joined-up strategic think tank for public procurement transformation, designed to share lived experience, practical solutions and tested approaches from across the system. Public sector professionals will learn directly from the successes and challenges faced by peers, gaining tangible takeaways, tools and insights that can be applied immediately to Get It Done.

Today’s legal professionals are no longer just interpreters of the law. They are trusted advisers, helping organisations navigate complexity, manage risk and enable confident, legally robust decision-making. PAI’s Public Sector Legal Forum 2026 brings together legal professionals from Government Departments, Local Authorities, State Agencies, Regulators and the wider public service to explore the cross-cutting issues shaping today’s public legal practice. Through practical case studies, expert insights and peer discussion, delegates will examine how to balance legal risk with organisational priorities, strengthen governance, embrace artificial intelligence responsibly and deliver advice that supports better public outcomes.
