The North is coming!

All in this together

It started as a twitter conversation. Another “not just London” feeling. A wish to make a change. And the only way to make a change is to, well, make it.

So here we are.

We are your planning team for GovCamp North.

When we started planning this, we realised that we need to use the principles of the established UK GovCamp, but we also needed to think about how we could make this relevant and accessible to everyone.

UK GovCamp has traditionally been run in London at the weekend. Which means if you want to go, there’s a commitment in terms of being away from home and family. And in terms of giving up your weekend.

We decided that we wanted to hold our event on a work day. Yes, it might be more difficult to get people to come, but we want to show our attendees that we believe networks and discussions are a vital part of work, and that we should create space for them.

We don’t want it to be like other events. We wanted it to be unique and tailored for everyone who attended but in a fun and re-energising way. We want to bring a bit of Northern Soul.

We are working hard to make this happen. We’d love you to get involved.
