We have a busy schedule of events coming up over the next few months, and we’d love to see you at some of them!
Take a look at where you’ll find some of the SocietyWorks team this autumn:
LocalGovCamp, Birmingham
26 September
We’re returning to LocalGovCamp this year as a workshop sponsor, where Bekki Leaver, Head of Product, and Matthew Somerville, Head of Development, will be in attendance.
Matthew has been involved with mySociety since the early days of the charity and is the brains behind many of our most well-used services. Meanwhile, Bekki has a wealth of experience in civic service design and development, and will be leading a workshop on how to help your teams through transitions and remove barriers to digital transformation.
Definitely go and pick their brains if you cross paths!
Strictly Highways, Blackpool
1 – 3 October
We’re very excited to be sponsoring and exhibiting at the Local Council Roads and Innovation Group’s (LCRIG) Strictly Highways conference for the first time.
Swing by stand 38 for a chat over a tea and some biscuits with Amelia Nicholas, Head of Client Partnerships, and Sally Reader, Account Manager. Ask them everything you’ve ever wanted to know about FixMyStreet Pro and how it helps councils, highways agencies and other public sector organisations to transform highways fault reporting for the better.
Highways UK, Birmingham
16 – 17 October
Join us once again at the NEC in Birmingham for Highways UK, where we’ll be exhibiting our FixMyStreet Pro solution from stand 281A.
Do come and see us, and stay for chat over a coffee from our on-stand barista. Amelia Nicholas, Head of Client Partnerships, will be there on both days, joined by Sally Bracegirdle, Marketing Manager, and Sally Reader, Account Manager.
Highways UK is always such a busy conference, so if you’re attending and you want to meet, please do let us know when you’ll be around so we don’t miss you!
APSE Waste and Recycling Management Seminar, Nottingham
1 7 October
While Amelia and the two Sallys will be talking all things streets and highways at Highways UK, our two other account managers Chris Edwards and Nicolle Whitehead will be focusing on residential waste management at the APSE Waste and Recycling Management Seminar.
If reducing unnecessary contact and improving the customer experience for your residential waste service is something you need help achieving, head over to our stand and speak to Chris and Nicolle about WasteWorks. Ask them about integrations, preemptive messaging and anything else that’s challenging you at the moment when it comes to residential waste.
LGA Conference, Harrogate
22 – 24 October
After being postponed due to the general election, the LGA Conference will finally be taking place in Harrogate between 22 – 24 October and we’ll be there as usual at stand Q59.
Come over and talk to us about improving interactions with citizens and aiding digital transformation across a variety of service areas, from highways and waste, to FOI and licensing.
Amelia, Sally B and Chris will be joined by Julia Cushion, Policy & Advocacy Manager at our parent charity mySociety. She’s hoping to hear councils’ thoughts and challenges around data, public engagement, and responding to the climate crisis. She’ll also be sharing useful tools and resources that can support progress at the local level.
GovCampCymru, Cardiff
8 November
We’re delighted to be sponsoring GovCampCymru for the second year running. Amelia will be there on the day, along with some of our other Wales-based team members.
Like last year we’re hoping to be inspired by all the unconference sessions and, hopefully, provide some inspiration of our own!
Do say helô if you see us around.
