Civil Service Live[1] is the largest gathering of civil servants designed to share best practice, promote innovation and drive collaboration across all government departments and agencies.

Overview

It was launched by the Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell and Civil Service World in April 2008.[2]

The national event has featured high profile speakers (including Peter Jones from Dragons Den), workshops, an innovation space, a civil service history museum and other exciting content.

In addition to the national event in London, Civil Service Live stages a number of regional events across the country, the first of these was Gateshead in 2009 and events have also taken place in Manchester and Belfast.[3] Civil Service Live – The Midlands will be in Birmingham in April 2011.

The 2010 Civil Service Live, which took place at London Olympia, swiftly followed the general election and provided a platform for the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and many other Secretaries of State to address their departmental senior management teams.

To go alongside the site, the Civil Service Live Network has been set up and now has over 30,000 users. It provides networking tools and news from Civil Service World for members of the civil service community and wider public sector.

In addition to being the online home of Civil Service Live it is also the home for the Civil Service Awards, and the Civil Service Diversity and Equality Awards.
