The UK Government Digital Service (GDS) has opened registration for Services Week 2026, its annual conference on digital transformation in the public sector. The event serves as a showcase for new standards, tools and initiatives aimed at modernising citizen-facing services across central and local government. GDS typically uses the platform to announce updates to GOV.UK, the UK's unified government portal, and to share best practices in service design, accessibility and data governance. Services Week has become a key date for procurement officers, IT directors and policy makers tracking the direction of UK digital government strategy. Details on keynote speakers and session topics are expected in the coming weeks.
