There are just over two weeks to go before Room151’s inaugural treasury conference for the north of England chaired by Manchester City Council’s Tim Seagrave and featuring insight from the head of Whitehall’s local government finance unit.
LATIF North is the sister conference of Room151’s annual Local Authority Treasurers Investment Forum (LATIF) hosted at the London Stock Exchange each September.
Taking place in Manchester on 22 March, LATIF North will include a policy update from Gareth Caller, who leads local government finance unit at the department for homes, communities and local government. Over 70 councils, largely from across the north, have registered to attend the inaugural event.

Among the other sessions at the conference will be a panel exploring treasury strategy with Innes Edwards, treasury manager at Edinburgh City Council; Victoria Bradshaw, CFO at Rochdale Borough Council; Sean Pearce, director of finance at West Midlands Combined Authority; and Paul Woods CFO at the North East Combined Authority.
A separate panel will examine treasury risk with Belinda White, treasury manager at Birmingham City Council; Danny Mather of Warrington Borough Council and Chris West, consultant and former s151 of Coventry City Council.
Technical presentations will not only include Gareth Caller, but audit and accounting expert Stephen Sheen on IFRS9; David Green of Arlingclose on MiFID II and David Chefneax of Link Asset Services on the application of the new prudential and treasury management codes.
At the time of publication there are just five free delegate places remaining while the exhibition is full.
