Market Place Demonstration Stalls

The market place demonstration stalls will showcase new ways of delivering efficient, effective and targeted services, enabled by readily available ICT tools and resources.

Each market stall is hosted by a local authority or strategic partner and will highlight the services developed, potential pitfalls and outcomes achieved. It provides a 'hands on' opportunity to examine real solutions already delivering results for colleagues across the country.

This is your chance to discuss with strategic and operational staff how you can make use of these innovations in your area.

With more than 40 market stalls addressing issues such as worklessness, social care, housing support, the ageing population, criminal justice, education, health, and the Big Society, delegates will be able to explore the issues and solutions most relevant to your role.
