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...

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 🙂

"...It’s supposed to be a reflective practice. If you can’t truly be authentic in what you’re saying - if you can’t share your successes and be honest about your failures, in the same way [a previous speaker mentioned] then there’s no benefit to it." 2/?

"My definition of working in the open is really about thinking out loud and being as authentic as possible. One of the big mistakes people make is treating working in the open as theatre - something performative. That’s when you don’t get anything from it..." 1/?

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

I'm away to @odcamp.uk ( #odcamp ) in #Edinburgh. Should arrive just as pitching ends.

Get to be with me #opendata peeps again (first time in a few years).

Lots to learn and talk about. Especially how to do open banking, but for pensions.

Interesting slide of @cjforms.bsky.social's on error types /examples:

Problems along the way / Tried to buy 2Kg carrots, ordered 2 carrots.

Wrong result / Ordered pork pie, got lettuce.

Unnecessary action / No delivery arrives, called to find out why.
