Services Week is back and the theme for 2025 is - people-centred services. Designing effective public services starts with innovation, a strong understanding of what people need from services, and close collaboration between different teams and specialisms. Are you a digital and data professional in the public sector? Services Week is an opportunity to share, to learn and to collaborate, all with the aim of transforming lives through high quality, technology-powered services.
If you want to add a session to this year’s Services Week complete the form below by 3 March, you can also see how the agenda shapes up below.
What is Services Week?
Services Week is a yearly event hosted by the Government Digital and Data community with the aim of bringing the public sector together to share best practice and learn from others, improving public services. You can read more about Services Week here.
Why take part?
Services Week is an opportunity to showcase your work to people from across the public sector. It's an especially exciting time to be involved, as we celebrate the launch of the new digital centre of government, which has been set up to lead work that’s more than just a change – it will help catalyse a wholesale reshaping of the public sector, reaching out to local government, the NHS, and the private sector too. Last year’s event attracted over 5,000 attendees across the week from across 60 sessions and Services Week 2025 aims to be bigger and better than ever.
Services Week is a fantastic opportunity to:
- share your experiences and best practices, sessions vary from 20 minute lightening talks to deep dives and demos
- increase awareness of your teams work (and get feedback for development)
- gain insights about what’s going across the public sector, how are others using emerging technology, how are new public services being designed?
- grow your own network, meet counterparts in other organisations or meet new colleagues in other disciplines
- And finally, stay updated with the latest service design trends.
Last year’s sessions included:
- Services Week opening event run by Central Digital and Data Office
- Trauma informed design: passing trend or new aspect of accessibility? Run by Department for Education
- Making the case for data LPAs run by Ministry of Justice
