This event is part of a regular series of fireside chats between Central Government Council members and senior public sector figures, exploring their drivers, priorities and challenges, and aiming to improve the dialogue across the public sector tech ecosystem and set the scene for more meaningful market engagement.
We hope you'll be able to join us for this in-person fireside chat on 21 March from 16:00 - 17:00 with drinks, nibbles, and networking after until 17:30.
