Keynote Address
Tom Steinberg (confirmed)
Director, mySociety
“Government as a website”
Governments see websites as things they have – inconvenient distractions from the real business of government. But increasingly, citizens see governments as websites first, just as people see Amazon as a website, not as an enormous logistics and research company.

Tom will talk about the painful process required for governments to start seeing themselves as websites, and why it matters.

Panel Discussion
“Improving the user experience”
Digital government must be about the user experience and designing services real people want to use. How can we ensure digital services are truly inclusive? We want to encourage people to use high-quality digital services, but we also want to make sure that assisted digital services are there for those who need them.
