Brought to you by Gov News Direct, the Smarter Working Live Awards is an annual vibrant and vivacious event to celebrate government innovation. Even though we won’t be physically present together this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to host the fourth year of the Smarter Working Live Awards in a unique virtual capacity – to share and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the UK public sector in transforming people, places, processes and technology through the practices of Smarter Working.

Our 2020 event will extend beyond the biggest and best awards ceremony in the public sector calendar. Not only will the event be accessed virtually, it will offer an exciting and diverse conference itinerary featuring expert keynote presentations, workshops, an exhibition area as well as the awards ceremony itself.

The Smarter Working Live Virtual Conference will provide an exceptional space for the most exemplary organisations across government and the private sector to inform, interact and inspire each other. It is our goal that the virtual event will offer everyone productive and constructive conversations, as well as an opportunity to showcase the best government innovation achievements this year.

In doing so, we hope the Smarter Working Live event will continue to strive to be a source that helps positively shape and influence Smarter Working practices across the public sector for years to come.
