How do we transform public services to both focus on prevention and become deeply personalised? In this discussion with Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office Chris Ward MP, Alan Milburn, ServiceNow’s Aaron Neil and TBI’s Dr Charlotte Refsum, we’ll hear how those at the centre of government are working to reform key public services. Are there common lessons? What role does data play? And what implications are there for delivery? Can we point to a future for public services that can garner political support?

Policing in 2025 looks very different than it did a decade ago. So what will it look like in 2035?

What role can the technologies of the future play in helping the police to not only reduce but also eliminate crime?

Hall 2C, Lower Level, ACC 

Lewis Goodall, Torsten Bell MP, Sam Sharps (TBI), Sophie Pender

The News Agents’ Lewis Goodall, Torsten Bell MP, The 93% Club’s Sophie Pender and TBI’s Sam Sharps discuss.

30 September, 12.30pm–1:15pm

Hall 2C, Lower Level, ACC

Liz Kendall MP, Alexander Iosad (TBI), Damian Stirrett, Chris Smyth (Chair) 

Public services define how citizens judge government – yet too often people feel they work hard, pay taxes and still get poor value in return. The question is how to deliver better outcomes with limited resources. AI and innovations like digital ID offer a once-in-a-generation chance to reimagine services, from health-care access to personalised education, but only if challenges around privacy and trust are addressed. In a panel discussion chaired by Chris Smyth of The Times, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation & Technology Liz Kendall MP, TBI’s Alexander Iosad and ServiceNow’s Damian Stirrett will discuss how the government can seize this opportunity
