Our Public Sector Forum brings together the people, organisations and future‑ready IT solutions that drive the public sector every day. This year marks the fourth edition of the event, and we look forward to exchanging ideas with those who not only understand the public sector but actively help shape it.
In 2026, we are placing an even stronger emphasis on practical relevance and genuine insights. Our customers take centre stage as they showcase their projects, outline their approaches and share valuable experience from real‑world practice.
Their contributions shed light on key issues across the public sector—future readiness, artificial intelligence and modern operating models such as managed services. The programme also examines digital sovereignty and the measures that, over time, can help reduce dependencies.
