\"\"<\/a>\u201cHave you created a digital solution to a really intransigent Local Government problem – something that saves money or helps vulnerable people?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Have you been motivated – not by the bottom line – but by the fact that you care about public services?<\/p>\n

Do you want your innovation to get way more traction – to work with as many other Local Authorities as possible to exploit and develop your solution?<\/p>\n

On the other hand – are you a Local Government person that is crying out for new ideas and creative people to develop solutions with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your chance to meet your match – and tackle all those frustrating blockages that are preventing digitally enabled change to happen fast in Local Government.<\/p>\n

At our Birmingham event on Friday 11th May<\/strong> – you will set the agenda – you bring your issues.<\/p>\n

And smart creative brains, coming from all the different perspectives, will take an open-minded\u00a0approach to fixing them.<\/p>\n

It will be different.<\/p>\n

It will be dynamic.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll look at both sides of the equation – SMEs engaging with Local Government and on the other hand – Local Government commisioning technology providers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll listen to and understand each other\u2019s viewpoints<\/p>\n

By the end of the day both groups will have:<\/p>\n

– New insights to develop their approach<\/p>\n

– Better \u00a0engagement<\/p>\n

– SMEs getting a bigger slice of the Local Government Digital cake.<\/p>\n

The prioritised findings from the day will be published openly and we\u2019ll try to find funding to take them forward as actions by some of the organisations in attendance.<\/p>\n
