Location – De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms
We talk about data and technology all the time. There’s always more. We have to manage it, secure it and let it help us. Neither data nor technology need to be reams of seemingly meaningless numbers or words. How we look at and present data will help us to learn, better understand and let it direct us to what works.
Join us and your Socitm community at this conference to share and learn how:
- to understand and promote the ethical, responsible, and secure use of technologies
- data is generated and stored, and the processes and interactions they enable
- in practical terms, what we mean by ethics and how we apply them
Presentations:
Ethics – is it a risky Business?
Evidence based decision-making to improve the lives of our residents
Why experience is the new battlefield for IT

Organisations are increasingly under pressure to protect customer data and ensure it is used responsibly. With emerging technologies such as AI and robotics, the ethical use of digital and technology is unchartered territory.

How does one build a robust framework for ethical use of data and technology.

Nigel Martin, CRO, Hornbill
IT in the UK public sector is going through a period of fascinating change, indeed the one constant is change itself and everyday it is getting louder. Constrained by legacy systems, resource challenges and frameworks designed to maintain the status quo, the sector is struggling to transform. IT leaders are researching and commissioning workstreams on digital transformation, IT strategy, self service, and workflow automation at three times the level than ever before.
Hornbill, Europe’s leading Enterprise Service Management vendor will provide insights into the industry’s largest research program which since January 2020 collects 7 million data points each week across 1800 UK public sector organisations analysing more than 2500 IT topics.

Dave Sanderson, Director of Member Services, Socitm (Chair) | Paul Withers, Data Protection Manager, Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council | Dr Mahlet (Milly) Zimeta, Head of Public Policy, Open Data Institute | Nick Chapallaz , Managing Director, GeoPlace
What procedures and safeguards do you have to responsibly guide your use of data?
Public sector organisations like yours, collect and keep a huge amount of information. And using this information is vital to offer people the right support at the right time. But keeping this information secure and not overstepping the mark is also vital.
Our panellists will explore how
- they (and you) can use data to target your work and secure better outcomes for people
- to use the power of data. But use it wisely.
- not to get overwhelmed by digital ethics

Michael Litterick, Innovation and Insight Lead Consultant, Socitm Advisory
Decisions ripple. Decisions we make today shape the reality of tomorrow. Decisions about how we use technology and data, how we shape and run our organisations and the cultures we promote will all determine the future of both our work and social environments.
As technology leaders we are at the forefront of these decisions. This talk briefly covers the main trends and forces shaping the future and some of the resulting possibilities. It has the aim of helping us answer the following question: “When we have run our race and hand over the reins to the next generation, will we do so with a sense of pride or a sense of shame?”
