What s ukgovcamp?
Like the ads for the Millenium Dome said, it s one amazing day. But unlike the
Dome, ukgovcamp is about content and people, giving up their Saturday to talk, listen and
think about how digital is changing the way government works in the UK. Those
conversations start long before the event, and continue long afterwards, stimulating new
ideas, projects and get-togethers, including via the monthly TeaCamp.
In a nutshell, ukgovcamp is an unconference, or a conference without a predefined agenda,
where the sessions are proposed and agreed at the start of the day. They re posted as a
big grid on the wall for the participants to choose from, and there s plenty of time for the
informal hallway chats which, let s face it, are the best bit of any conference.
London,
Saturday 22 January It s run to the rules of open space events, where the Law of Two Feet applies: people
2011 move freely between sessions which interest them, tweeting, blogging, snapping and
filming as they go. What emerges is always a high-energy, dynamic event which leaves
http://ukgovcamp.com people buzzing with new ideas and connections.
@ukgovcamp Set up by volunteers, the first ukgovcamp took place in January 2008, and there have been
#ukgc11 two more since, each one bigger and livelier than the last. The 2011 event will be massive:
almost twice as big as 2010, with the first tranche of tickets already snapped up in a few

hours.

Why s it so great?
 250 of the most motivated and dynamic people in the government 2.0 space in
the UK. In one place, both at an event and online
 An informal, friendly culture. Not a big conference run as a commercial enterprise, or
a members-only club. UKgovcampers are open-minded and there because they want to
be, in their own time
 A fantastic venue in central London, with up to ten simultaneous event strands
throughout the day, including a cool tools room for app and service demos and Q&A
 A super-networked community, via ukgovcamp.com, @ukgovcamp and #ukgc11
London,
Saturday 22 January across social media. Govcampers will be blogging, tweeting and uploading their way
2011 through the day, talking about the ideas and services they re hearing about to friends
and colleagues outside, including via our professional-quality video livestream
http://ukgovcamp.com
 A conference that never really ends. We ll be sending the govcampers email
@ukgovcamp updates before and after the event, and keeping up the networking through 2011 via
#ukgc11 established monthly TeaCamp events, the ukgovcamp.com online community and spin-
off govcamps
steph@moreopen.org
dave@moreopen.org  The right time for this stuff. As the shock of public spending cuts fades and the
reality bites, there s never been a greater need for fresh ideas and smart use of
020 3012 1024
technology in the public sector. Come and inspire, and be inspired.

First of all, come along. UKgovcamp is free to attend, and open to anyone with an interest
in this field, making it the only large-scale event of its kind.
For 2011, we re looking for supporters of various kinds to help us put on a truly fantastic
event and keep up the momentum through the rest of the year both online and through
follow-up events, under the auspices of MoreOpen.org.
 Partners: we re looking for two or three larger organisations to be our strategic
partners through 2011, helping to headline ukgovcamp itself, and enabling us to support
spin-off the events, websites and projects which emerge with little bits of seed funding

them through those long, boring meetings back at the office
