The Smart Government Summit 2019 will highlight how Local, Regional and Central Government services in the UK can be enhanced through the use of the latest technology to facilitate and support better planning and decision making. Digital technology is transforming the way in which public services are being delivered on a daily basis by making them more citizen-centric, data driven and performance focused.

At the heart of Smart Government is the consolidation of information systems and communication networks. The Smart Government Summit 2019 will show how public services can be improved by the adoption of tried and tested digital technological solutions, which are already being implemented by the private sector.

Through a comprehensive conference programme alongside an exhibition of the latest, relevant technology and systems, the Smart Government Summit 2019 will offer practical advice to participants on building an open data culture to encourage information sharing across the public sector. An impressive list of keynote speakers is being assembled to cover topics of interest, to assess the challenges in implementing Smart Government practices and to suggest solutions. The Conference speakers have been carefully selected from well-respected figures within business and commerce, from academia and State organisations, all with proven expertise in their respective fields.

The Smart Government Summit 2019 will provide the opportunity for visitors to engage with smart technology providers. It will also serve as a forum to gather to discuss the development of innovative policies and business models along with the harnessing of the latest technological tools to tackle the financial, social, political and environmental challenges facing public sector organisations across the UK.
