Visit our biggest offer to date at Civil Service Live 2025 to network, get interactive with Government Digital Service products and participate in live demos at venues across the UK.
Experience a modern digital government first hand at the Government Digital and Data hub — an integral part of the Government Digital Service’s (GDS) biggest showcase ever at Civil Service Live (CSL) 2025.
With a range of GDS-led plenary sessions on offer throughout the main programme, and our own sessions and technology demos at our hub space, discover how we’re making progress with our long-term vision for digital public services. To get to grips with this vision and understand the blueprint in action there are still some limited places available for plenary talks at some CSL locations. They are:
- ‘Strategy: How will the Government Digital & AI Roadmap deliver a modern digital government?’
- what AI tools are on the horizon you can use, thanks to The Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (i.AI), (‘Harnessing the opportunity of AI to deliver better public services’) and,
- ‘The Ultimate Hack: get ready for a new era of digital government,’ where you can expect to see developing tools fit for a new era of digital government, hear about future AI and tech tools, understand how digital innovation will revolutionise public services, and discover your role in the digital future.
Visiting our hub is a chance to network with Government Digital and Data experts, participate in live demos and get interactive with our products featuring in our biggest CSL programme ever. Session topics covered include:
- why one particular skill might just help futureproof your career — spoiler: it’s coding, (‘Unlocking the Future: the Power of Coding Skills)
- the possibilities and boundaries of AI in government, (‘GDS' AI Playbook for the UK Government: Harnessing AI for Public Sector Innovation’)
- GCS Assist — government’s secure, tailored conversational tool already helping users brainstorm, drafts, and review work, (GCS Assist: learn how to scale AI across government)
- what platforms you can integrate with for messaging, taking payments, and more (‘Products to help you transform services’)
- how GDS is getting prepared for ‘Generation Alpha’, (‘Preparing for the next generation: Project Alf and smartphone natives’)
- development opportunity, AI Accelerator, (AI Accelerator: Cultivating AI Talent in the Civil Service), and learn more about the Government Digital and Data Capability Framework.
- GOV.UK One Login is an enabler to the upcoming launch of the GOV.UK Wallet. ‘GOV.UK One Login: Simplifying Access to Government Services’ lifts the lid on what is to come.
- ‘Data Sharing Dreams’ — a deep dive into flagship data sharing initiatives and hands-on work led by the Data Sharing Experts Community for those that love everything data
- how diversity in our teams fuels innovation, (‘A Day in the Life of a Government Digital and Data Professional fireside chats’)
- TechTrack — hear about our advanced Level 4 apprenticeship scheme that is changing the game for early digital careers (‘TechTrack: revolutionising digital apprenticeships in the Civil Service’) and
- ‘Using location data to deliver better public services’. Geospatial — now part of GDS — is also on location at CSL events and the team will be talking about how smarter location data is set to revolutionise everything from emergency services to housing to roadworks.
