A research paper exploring evaluation findings from our 2019 Connects event for Big Local areas.
This briefing is part of our Local Trust research papers series, originally shared internally with staff, and presents findings from the evaluation of our 2019 Connects event.
Connects is an annual event for all 150 Big Local areas, where attendees can learn, network and build relationships. This paper summarises attendee and staff feedback, to analyse what worked well and what could be improved for future events.
A version of this paper was first published internally by Local Trust in 2019. It was published on the Local Trust website in April 2022.
