AI without strategy is just hype. In this interactive breakfast session, we will bring together procurement people, technology people and leaders to explore what it takes to make AI work in the Public Sector. We will examine the risks and pitfalls, from vendor lock-in, to shifting commercial models, look at market trends, and review public sector insights and examples of success globally.
 
Participants will leave with ideas for building a clear pathway to AI-friendly procurement and technology strategy that balances innovation, competition, security, and Value for Money. The aim is to ensure that the benefits of AI flow through to Departments, budgets, and Services, rather than being captured solely by Providers.

We look forward to seeing you there!
