Event Summary

The pandemic has impacted public sector services massively. Positively, it has accelerated digital transformation across central and local government as well as the NHS and blue light services. This rapid move towards digital first has seen rapid growth in the use of Cloud and APIs as well as highlighting areas where improvements are needed.

This year’s 4th Public Sector Innovation Conference we will be looking at the fundamentals of the next stage of this rapid digital adoption in the public sector covering: interoperability; platforms; data; and emerging technologies as four areas that can transform public services.

Our day will ask our audience, how can we create digital services that fit the needs and expectations of a digital citizen.

We will have speakers from Cabinet Office, Home Office, ONS, DWP, Department for Levelling Up, NHSx and No.10 as well blue light services.
