(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Event Shares Best Practices for Enhancing Citizen Engagement, and Recognises
Winners of the Digital Strategy and Impact Awards 2016
LONDON, Sept. 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GovDelivery, the leading provider of
cloud-based software solutions which enhance the citizen experience and the
impact of government-to-citizen and government-to-business communications, has
announced the agenda for its 7th Annual GovDelivery Public Sector Communications
Conference to be held 29 September in London. The full-day event will include
keynotes from leading communications experts using digital communications to
inform and engage millions of citizens, and drive better outcomes for
communities.
Registration is now open for the complimentary event, where record attendance is
expected based on more than 570 early registrations to date. Government and not-
for-profit employees and contractors across the UK are expected to attend to
exchange ideas, network, and learn how organisations are using digital
communications to transform the way citizens access public services and engage
with government in meaningful ways. Those interested in attending can register
at govdelivery.co.uk/UKcomm16.
"Public sector organisations are using smart digital communications and citizen
engagement technologies to communicate in ways that benefit the wellbeing of our
society - ways that drive real action and positive change", said Dave Worsell,
Managing Director of GovDelivery Europe. "Once again, we'll showcase the
achievements and challenges of some of the people and organisations pushing
forward with 'digital-by-default' initiatives to engage millions more citizens
in more cost-effective online services, reduce demand on government resources,
and improve outcomes by effecting behavioural change in society".
This year's keynotes include "Engagement for Change" delivered by Nigel Bishop,
a public sector communications and customer involvement specialist who will
discuss the pressing need for citizen engagement (at scale), in order for the
public sector to successfully adapt to increasing citizen demand and reduced
budgets. The Director of Skills and Partnerships at Doteveryone, Rachel Neaman,
will consider ways to engage the 23% of people who are "digitally excluded", and
Carrie Bishop, Director at FutureGov, will discuss service design in the digital
age.
Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights from
their public sector peers who are using digital engagement technologies to help
forge informed and connected communities. Huw Ap Dewi, Performance and
Development Officer at Wrexham County Borough Council, Steve Langrick, Head of
Online, Channel Strategy and Development at Kirklees Council, Tony Curliss,
Operational Manager for Customer Relations at Vale of Glamorgan Council, and
Emma Rodgers, Strategic Manager (Communications and Marketing) at Stoke-on-Trent
City Council will all share details about how their organisation is using
digital communications to drive outcomes, and their key learnings. GovDelivery
experts will round off the agenda, leveraging their experience with more than
1,800 public sector clients to share important trends and guide attendees on the
most effective ways to reach, inform and engage more citizens.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from these visionaries of digital
government benefiting from shared best practice in the fields of public sector
service design and digital communications. The experts running these programmes
will share how government organisations are using digital technologies to
increase citizen engagement and the success of public initiatives.
This year's conference will also highlight the most recent winners of
GovDelivery's Digital Strategy and Impact Awards. This award programme was
developed to honour effective and innovative digital strategy throughout the
public sector. The shortlist will soon be available online
at govdelivery.co.uk/awards.
