The Future of Government Technology Show and Exhibition 2026

IGPP's one-day government technology show at CorpAcq Stadium in Eccles, aimed at senior leaders from central government, local authorities, the NHS and the wider public sector, plus the suppliers working with them.

The programme covers how national digital strategy turns into local delivery: AI and data-driven government, cyber resilience, and local government reorganisation, with legacy IT, tight council budgets, digital exclusion and public trust in data as the hard problems. Runs 9:00 to 17:00, free to attend with free parking. The organisers say no sales or business-development attendees. No speakers are named on the booking page.

Why go: a useful day for govtech founders who want to hear what public-sector buyers say they need, as long as you go to listen and not to pitch.
