Parliament

Join our policy team for a post party conference debrief, and a look at the legislative agenda ahead. As Parliament heads into a prolonged period of lawmaking, we know there are Bills incoming on Digital Information and Smart Data, Cybersecurity and Resilience, Planning and Infrastructure, Product Safety, Metrology and AI that will impact the tech sector and civil society. We’ll be discussing them all and how the drama of Conferences and policy making at them will have impacted their passage through Parliament.

We’ll also be going through our updated roadmap of policy ideas and suggestions for the new government, building on the content of our policy manifesto and recent DCAI whitepaper.

The event will include an opportunity for you to feed in your views, raise issues and suggest ideas about how public and private actors can build public trust, ensure ethical and responsible use of data, and ensure new legislation delivers citizen-centred opportunities from technological innovations underway.

Who is this webinar for

Policymakers and concerned citizens, no prior knowledge needed.
