To everyone who's messaging me asking for tickets to @ukgovcamp.com 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) in #Birmingham, I'm sorry but registration has closed and tickets have been issued.

The only way to get tickets now is to sponsor the event www.ukgovcamp.com/become-a-spo...

We’ve published our WIP vision board.
It maps how we turn our vision into services that help people now by putting users, needs, and strategy onto a single page.

Many thanks to @jereeve.bsky.social for offering me a desk to work at in #London this afternoon 👍🏻

Lovely atmosphere at the @tpximpact.com office in Whitechapel 🙂

Even managed to make my train back to #Staffordshire, which I was sure I'd miss.

Our first UKGovCamp 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) sponsor has paid us the money.

Massive thank you to @dxw.com, long time supporter of @ukgovcamp.com as a positive force for change across the public sector.

This means we can pay the deposit for our crèche provider 🙂

Quick reminder that registration is open for the UK public sector's best unconference (I may be biased) www.ukgovcamp.com

Never heard of unconferences or not sure what to expect? Don't worry, you'll absolutely love it 🙂 www.cattell.com/unconference
