Excellence in Local Government Forum

Secure, sovereign cloud for today’s public sector

18–19 March 2026
Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross

We will be attending the Excellence in Local Government forum — a key gathering for council leaders, CIOs, digital directors, and public‑sector innovators. This event brings together Local Government professionals to tackle shared challenges including continued financial pressures, increasing service demand, cyber risk, and the ongoing need to modernise safely and sustainably.

Across two days, attendees will share experiences, explore innovative approaches, and identify practical strategies to help councils continue delivering more with less.

What we’re showcasing

At this year’s event, we will spotlight Trust Cloud – our UK‑sovereign, resilient, and cost‑predictable cloud platform built specifically for the public sector.

As councils navigate VMware uncertainty, complex hybrid estates, budget scrutiny, and growing security expectations, Trust Cloud provides a safe, practical, and disruption‑free route to modernisation.

How Trust Cloud Helps Local Government:

Sovereign-by-design hosting
Hosted within Ark Data Centres and Crown Hosting facilities trusted by UK Government and available on G‑Cloud.

Predictable, fixed economics
Cost models designed to support tight public‑sector budgets with no surprises.

Modernisation without disruption
Evergreen IaaS, data independence, and a secure route away from legacy constraints.

Improved resilience & continuity
Supported by a proven ecosystem including Zadara, Ark/Crown Hosting, and Assurestor.

AI-ready capabilities
Low‑latency, high‑resilience infrastructure to support future digital citizen services.

 

Meet us at the event

Our team will be on hand throughout the forum to discuss how local authorities can adopt a clearer, safer, and more controlled cloud strategy – built around sovereignty, compliance, sustainability, and long‑term operational stability.
