Hear from innovators, pioneers and thought leaders in the public sector digital space at UKAuthority Digital Transformation
It's time to show some urgency in getting to grips with what new developments in digital tech can do for public services. Innovations of today are going to be crucial in delivering high quality services while balancing books by the end of the decade.
UKAuthority is providing a free opportunity for public servants to learn more. Following two highly successful events in London and Manchester, we are staging two further one-day, free-to-attend conferences in Cardiff and Glasgow next week.
They present public sector officials from Wales, Scotland and beyond their borders with an opportunity to take a fresh look at the latest technology and hear the thoughts of those pioneering in the public sector digital space. There will be contributions from leaders of disruption in organisational culture and structure, and innovators in designing digital solutions to meet the increasingly demanding needs of public service.
With budgets tightening and citizen expectations rising, the challenge for public sector bodies is growing increasingly tough. But with every challenge comes an opportunity, and the events will be a great source of ideas - sharing and learning from peers - on how to respond to problems with exciting new solutions.
