This event has now ended.
Primary partners: BullWall (opens in new tab)
Our meetings can be face-to-face (with refreshments provided) or virtual (bring your own refreshments) and will be focused on Socitm’s policy themes. Within these themed meetings your regional committee is free to create an agenda that works best for you and your regional colleagues. If there’s something you would like to discuss or investigate with like-minded peers just let us know on hello@socitm.net and we will co-ordinate that with and for you.
A warm welcome will greet you at this Socitm event. You’re then free to start networking as well as helping yourself to refreshments – including breakfast pastries.
Craig will make us all welcome, run through the practical housekeeping, set the scene, share his thoughts and introduce our first keynote speaker.

We know how important these sections of an event are. It’s time to make new connections, say hello to colleagues across the sector you’ve not seen for some time and reflect on the morning’s programme over lunch. Keep the conversation going and enjoy further food for thought.
Lisa Trickey, Digital Adviser, Cyber, Digital & Technology, LGA
We will finish the day with any other questions and some finishing remarks from Craig Wilkins, Socitm Southwest chair.
