Local Government PSN & SNS Conference

Key figures from Local Government, National Government and the Telecoms Industry gathered in Berkshire to discuss the latest developments in the Public Sector Network. The event - held 15th to 16th September, 2009 - was sponsored by Government Connect
Speakers at the National School of Government in Sunningdale included:

As well as interactive presentations, the  two-day conference  included  five breakout sessions

PSN Programme Director John Stubley said:  “There is an enormous appetite for the Public Sector Network.  We’ve done a lot of work – but there’s a lot more do before we realise our vision of a single ‘network of networks.’ 

“What’s clear is that everyone we talked to has individual needs – not that we weren’t aware of that! But once PSN is in place next year, it will be the ‘great enabler’ – setting standards, dramatically improving procurement, and saving the taxpayer considerable sums of money.”

He added:  “But most importantly of all, it will allow users to do more.  And they’ll be able to do that more easily, with services that slot together seamlessly.”
