Cyber, Digital and Technology - Learning events and materials

There is an increasing interest across the local government sector in how artificial intelligence (AI) and smart technology can be practically implemented into existing services and processes. Despite this interest, there is a need for greater support for councils to maximise the benefits of emerging and innovative technologies.  

This project will showcase practical AI and smart technology applications with the potential to make councils more connected, efficient, effective, personalised, and secure.

The end-goal of the project is to deliver a one-day hybrid ‘Showcase’ event where vetted vendors of AI and smart technology showcase their innovative solutions for core challenges facing English local authorities.

Sign up for the LGA Technology Innovation Showcase, 14 November 9:30am - 3:30pm

Our free e-learning course on embedding cyber resilience in local government supply chains is based on the principles laid out by the NCSC. The course aims to help councils embed greater cyber resilience in their procurement processes and supply chains. The learning materials are tailored to anyone with a role at any stage of the procurement cycle. The e-learning modules provide a comprehensive educational experience that is designed to maximise information retention through questions based on the information introduced and relevant examples of local government procurement.
