Every UK public sector organisation is being asked the same question by their leadership team: ‘what’s our AI plan?’. For some, this plan is clear, but for many it’s not, and that’s holding back their AI ambitions.

For Copilot, the results are clear to see. Public sector users on average save 26 minutes per day and 82% state they wouldn’t want to work without it. However, 50% of organisations say data security and privacy concerns are preventing scaling, and 46% have no leadership guidance.

We built this event with one focus: the UK public sector. We’ve gathered the specialists, partners, and customers who are sharing what’s working across councils, education institutions, NHS trusts, government departments, and not-for-profits. Spend the day with us and leave with a real plan to drive your AI ambitions forward.

The day is broken down into four parts covering, ‘why now’, ‘the how’, ‘what could go wrong’, and ‘moving forward’.

  • Part one: Where UK public sector AI actually is in 2026, by the people doing it.
    • Hear how Liverpool City Council has moved from a Copilot trial to production.
  • Part two: Adoption, strategy, governance, compliance, data – the five things you must get right.
    • Hear from our specialists and chosen partners on how to achieve excellence across all the key AI pillars.
  • Part three: Security, resilience, and the lessons learned by your UK public sector peers.
    • Threat detection, resilience, recovery, and the data you can’t afford to lose, plus hear from a panel of speakers on AI lessons they’ve learnt.
  • Part four: How to take everything you’ve heard and move forward with your AI ambitions.
