This complimentary, one-day event is your opportunity to see what's next in AI, learn how organisations like yours are building responsibly with AWS, and foster connections with peers who are turning cloud ambition into measurable outcomes.

Agenda
Open all- AI adoption across the UK public sector is accelerating — but the gap between experimentation and production-scale transformation remains the defining challenge. This keynote brings together AWS leaders, senior government voices, and frontier AI developers to address that gap directly: what's working, what's next, and what it takes to deploy AI securely and at scale for the citizens who depend on it.

- Dave Levy, VP Worldwide Public Sector, AWS
