Expert Speakers ◊ Informed Debate ◊ Networking
G-Cloud, the UK government's public sector procurement framework for cloud services, is now generating around £25 million worth of contracts every month. The next window for applications opens soon, at a crucial moment for the continued success of G-Cloud.
Join our expert speakers and an informed audience to learn all about G-Cloud and your part in its future - how to get on it, the pitfalls to avoid, what's coming along next and how to close those deals. Topics we'll cover include:
- How can my company apply and be successful as a G-Cloud supplier?
- What's the impact of the new rules on security assessments?
- What will change when CloudStore merges into the government’s new Digital Marketplace?
- What's the best way to expand public sector buying via G-Cloud?
- After next year's General Election, what might be the impact of a change of government?
- How can the industry help shape and expand the future of G-Cloud?
Hear our expert panel of speakers explain how to make the most from G-Cloud and join in the debate on its future. We follow their quickfire talks with a moderated discussion. Challenge what they've said, explore, analyse & probe or throw in a new issue for discussion or debate. Don’t underestimate the alchemy of bringing together influential thought leaders with key industry players and a pinch of straight-talking.
