Government Digital Technology Congress: "Development in a Digital World" will  take place on 1st of November in London.

The UK Government is one of the most digitally advanced in the world. We have come top of the 2016 United Nations E-Government and E-Participation surveys. We have developed the award-winning and internationally renowned GOV.UK – and have opened its code, which has been reused by governments around the world. The Government Digital Service (GDS) has led the digital transformation of government and is a model that is being copied internationally.

Key event topics:
• transforming whole citizen-facing services – to continue to improve the experience for citizens, businesses and users within the public sector
• full department transformation – affecting complete organisations to deliver policy objectives in a flexible way, improve citizen service across channels and improve efficiency
• internal government transformation, which might not directly change policy outcomes or citizen-facing services but which is vital if government is to collaborate better and deliver digitally-enabled change more effectively.

Confirmed speakers:
• Melanie Webb, Assoc CIPD, Capability Manager | Change Portfolio at Ministry of Justice
• Stephen Browning, Interim Challenge Director – Next Generation Services at Innovate UK
• Peter Stansbury, Director Business Transformation at Evoco
