Local & Regional Government Hackathon

** This event is suitable for all senior leaders and tech enthusiasts in local and regional government – no coding experience necessary as Kerv and Microsoft technical experts are allocated to each team **

Public services are under unprecedented pressure.

Demand is rising. Budgets are tightening. Teams are stretched. Yet expectations for faster, smarter, digitally enabled services have never been higher.

AI presents a genuine opportunity, not simply to modernise technology, but to fundamentally rethink how Local and Regional Government operates.

The question is no longer whether to adopt AI.

It’s how to apply it safely, practically, and at scale to deliver more with the resources you already have.

Kerv, in partnership with Microsoft, invites you to 1FA in London for an immersive, hands-on Hackathon designed exclusively for public sector technology leaders ready to turn AI ambition into real, deployable solutions.

Working alongside specialists from Kerv and Microsoft, you will explore how technologies such as Power Platform and Copilot Studio can unlock innovation, automate manual processes, and create meaningful service improvements faster than traditional transformation approaches allow.

Why attend? 

• Tackle Real Local Government Challenges, Fast
• Unlock Innovation Without the Red Tape
• Collaborate With Peers and Industry Experts
• Discover New Digital Tools and Approaches
• Build Skills and Confidence Across Your Workforce
• Generate Prototype Solutions You Can Actually Use

This is not a conference – it is a working session focused on practical outcomes.

Food and refreshments will be provided throughout the day, giving you the space to collaborate with peers, share ideas, and focus fully on building solutions that can make a measurable difference within your organisation.

Join us to move beyond strategy and start delivering real change.
