Is your data ready? Governance foundations for AI and transformation

Date & time

  1. 20 October 2026 09:30 - 11:00

Location

  1. Virtual (Teams)

Join Socitm and Core to explore how local authorities are strengthening data governance as interest in artificial intelligence (AI) tools grows.

The session will focus on the practical foundations councils need to realise value from AI tools, particularly where they have invested but are not yet seeing the expected return. It will explore how the following factors influence whether AI can be used safely and effectively across council services:

  • data quality
  • data governance
  • security and access controls
  • staff capability and confidence
  • adoption practices across services

The preferred audience is chief information officers (CIOs) chief digital and information officers (CDIOs) and information governance leaders . However, the discussion will also be valuable for heads and directors of data, IT, digital, transformation, innovation and change and other senior leaders with responsibility for data, technology and organisational change.

Note: Registration does not guarantee attendance.
