Date & time

Location

  1. Virtual (Teams)

In their 2026 Trends Report, Squiz identified The AI Reckoning as the defining shift of this moment. AI is now embedded into daily workflows across every sector – and for government, that has a direct consequence: it’s changing how citizens find and access public services. Organisations that don’t adapt risk becoming invisible.

In this 45-minute session, explore how AI is transforming the way citizens find public services – and what government digital teams need to do about it.

What you’ll learn

  • How AI is shifting citizens’ expectations
  • What makes website content visible to AI – and how to optimise for it
  • Why accessible content and AI-readable content are the same thing – and how fixing one fixes both
  • Practical steps for getting started without overhauling everything at once

Who it’s for

  • Marketers and content teams looking to optimise how citizens find public services through AI-assisted discovery
  • CMOs and digital leaders planning their 2026 digital strategy and AI governance for the public sector
  • CTOs and CIOs seeking to balance AI development velocity with security in a government context
