If so, join us at our Thought Leadership Dinner Debate | London | 17th June, 5.30pm - 8.30pm
The first of our summer series of Local Digital Campaign thought leadership debates will argue for and against the motion that: "To deliver both maximum savings and best service, we should design our public services to be human first rather than digital by default." The event will see local authority and other sector leaders debate the motion, and attendees will be invited to get involved also. You can sumbit your questions to the moderator in advance by emailing Helen Olsen, Managing Editor, Local Digital Campaign.
