Learning from Better connected 2009: towards a new strategic approach to local government websites
Conference: Tuesday 19 May at the Studio, Cannon Street, Birmingham B2 5EP
This event will support thinking about the future development of council websites, with specific reference to learning from the Better connected 2009 survey. The programme focuses on specific areas where the survey revealed that most councils ‘could do better’, including GIS and use of location, presentation of web content for mobile devices, deployment of web 2.0 facilities, and accessibility.
Delegates will also be able to hear how two of this year’s eight ‘excellent’ councils brought their websites up to this level, and look ahead to Better connected 2010 – when self-service and task management are likely to feature more strongly in the assessment than ever before.
‘The current economic crisis should be a great opportunity for anyone involved in council websites’ says Martin Greenwood, editor of Better connected. ‘There’s never been more need to save costs by doing things online. But how many websites feature strategically in councils’ future plans and do they measure up against the blueprint for development set out in Better connected 2009?’
This event is for web managers, e-communication and e-service managers, and ICT, customer service and corporate communications managers with responsibility for the web. Find out more and book your place at http://www.socitm.gov.uk/socitm/Events/Learning+from+Better+connected+2009+conference.htm
The conference is chaired by Kevin Hubery, Corporate Policy and Performance
Manager at Birmingham City Council, and features speakers from South Tyneside MBC,
Allerdale BC, Cheltenham Borough Council and South Ayrshire Council, as well as a number of the Better connected 2009 review team.
