Delivery is the Strategy
Join us for a day of stimulating idea exchange, as we bring together Civil Service Data leaders with their US, Canadian, Australian and European counterparts in an unusual discussion-driven conference format.
As the annual apex event of Government Transformation magazine's data readers, we put the focus on Analytics, Data Quality, Governance, AI and Data-Enabled Transformation - in a unique unconference format engineered to promote the sharing of horizontally applicable insights.

Thought Leadership
Everyone contributes at Government Data Summit as speakers and delegates sit alongside each other in small group discussions - enabling candid and discreet conversations focused on the immediate priorities of participants.
These discussions are supplemented by lively panel discussions featuring Senior Civil Servants and their international counterparts, as well as thought-provoking presentations from executives with global stature.
