LARIA is partnering with the Connected Local Government Live event which aims to bring together innovators across local public services in a ‘festival of thinking and events about a devolved and digitally enabled future’.

There will be a workshop at the event focused on digitally enabled data and insight, content for which is being created in collaboration between ourselves and the organisers.

As well as the data and insight workshop, a ticket (discounted for LARIA members) will entitle you to attend a range of briefings, masterclasses and innovation showcases related to digital development. Topics include digital inclusion, digital and data literacy, online security, public services and the mobile user and more.

There will also be workshops, similar to our own, focused on other local authority professions.

Digital innovation showcases – a cross between Dragon’s Den and a speed dating session – will be running on both days of the event to enable participants to hear about new ideas applicable across local public services and to engage immediately with their developers.

Please go to the Connected Local Government Live event website for more details and links to booking.

Please contact the organisers directly if you have any questions.
