What is UKGovcamp?

Govcamps are:

• free to attend
• focused on attendee participation
• relentlessly positive, constructive and creative

The rules are:

• have fun
• vote with your feet
• let everyone speak
• follow our code of conduct

On the day:

After a quick introduction from the organisers, anyone can pitch a session. This is how we create the session grid (the agenda). You can view all the sessions online.

I work in the Public Sector, have a keen interest in Digital, Open Data, Data visualisations and Social Technology. I help organise UKGovcamp, #Teacamp and run @RickyTweetUp.

I have a terrible weakness for all things shiny and tech, especially crowdsourcing sites like Kickstarter.

Attended my 1st UKGovCamp in 2011 when I was working in Birmingham City Council. The following year I created the online session grid at j.mp/ukgovcamp and have kept it updated since. Since 2013 I’ve volunteered and have been a lead organiser for the last couple of years.

I like making things work better for people. Used to be part of @gdsteam, now taking a break while I work out what’s next. Bold, open, positive.
