Sprint: Belfast – in partnership with Northern Ireland Civil Service
Date: Tuesday 11 June 2019
Venue: Titanic Belfast
Time: 09:00 – 14:00
Sprint: Belfast looked at how Northern Ireland and the Government Digital Service can work together to make things better for users across the UK.
We looked at Northern Ireland’s progress so far and potential for the future and focus on how to build tools, capability and culture for digital transformation.
I’m really looking forward to meeting new people, and hearing about digital developments across UK government. It will be great to showcase some of our local digital transformation successes, to share experiences and to discuss lessons learnt with colleagues from across the public sector.
