GovCamp Scotland is back!

GovCamp Scotland, a day of shared learning and collaboration is back!

GovCamp Scotland 2026 is organised by volunteers from Research Data Scotland, the Ministry of Housing, Social Security Scotland, and the Digital Office for Scottish Local Government, who contribute their time and expertise because they believe in the value of learning from one another.

This isn’t your typical conference. There’s no fixed agenda, keynote speakers or hierarchy. Instead, the day is shaped by the people in the room, creating space for open conversations, fresh ideas and shared experiences focused on improving public services. It’s open to anyone working across public services and beyond. Whether you’re in design, policy, delivery, data, research, there’s a place for you here. You don’t need to come with answers. You just need to be curious and willing to join in.

In previous years, GovCamp has created conversations sparking new ideas, collaborations, and fresh ways of thinking about the challenges we all face. Some of the best bits happen in the spaces between sessions. Spaces are limited and we’re aiming for a fair mix of people from the public sector, local government and the third sector. If that sounds like something you’d get value from, we’d love to see you there.
