On Tuesday 18th November 2025, iNetwork proudly hosted its 20th Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency, Manchester. This year’s theme ‘Driving Change through People, Data and Innovation’, captured the essence of what iNetwork stands for: empowering the local public sector to innovate to deliver better outcomes for communities.
The event had a great turnout, with over 300 registered delegates joining in-person and online. It was lovely to see people catching up with old friends and making new connections.
This year’s agenda featured a combination of panel discussions, interactive seminar sessions, and opportunities for networking, covering topics from meaningful engagement to the AI tools being used to transform social care. These conversations reflected the breadth of iNetwork’s programmes and the challenges and opportunities shaping public services today.
Our headline sponsor, Engage Process, played a key role in supporting the event, alongside a fantastic group of exhibitors who showcased tools and solutions to help organisations innovate effectively.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, spoke, exhibited, and supported the conference. Your contributions made this milestone event a success. Special thanks to our sponsors and partners for helping us deliver a day that truly reflected the spirit of innovation and collaboration.
Next year’s conference and iNetwork events will continue to build on the success and learning showcased at this event. Check out the full image gallery to see all the highlights from the day.
