As part of our mandate to facilitate knowledge exchange and dialogue between stakeholders in local governance, CLRG convenes conferences and policy forums and provides third party solutions for conference planning and management. 

You may engage us in designing your conference should you need to intensify public discussions on your studies, advocacies, accomplishments, or even launch knowledge products. We can provide a complete conference package or you can select from our specific menu of services: 
  • Program design and planning
  • Speaker management | presenter arrangements
  • Promotion, marketing, invitations and publicity
  • Venue selection and logistical planning
  • Event facilitation and documentation
  • Post-conference activities, reporting and publications

We consider conferences as another way to learn about the emerging trends and issues in local governance. It will be as much a learning experience for us as it is for you and our participants.

Our record speaks of our ability to pay attention to the smallest of details to meet our client’s unique requirements. We will surely customize our services to deliver your conference needs and expectations.
