Participation, imagination and connection are essential ingredients of any successful festival. The Festival of Governance is an annual opportunity for leaders from across the public, third and private sectors to meet and explore ways to improve all our lives.

The mission of the Good Governance Institute is to create a better, fairer world. Our theme for the Festival of Governance 2023 - Good governance because scarcity is real - is central to that mission and resonates particularly strongly in this extraordinary year.
