Annual General Meeting 2026
taking place Thursday 9th July online via Zoom, starting 7 pm

Key-note speaker

We are delighted to announce that Steve Walker, Head of Local Government Services, Cloudy IT, will be speaking about AI:

"Is it appropriate that I use AI for this task?"

If we can get everyone comfortable asking that question and confident in how to answer it then everything else (productivity, time savings, better decision-making) follows naturally and safely.

So, what the talk will cover:

• A clear, plain-English overview of what AI is (and isn't) in a local government context

• The "is it appropriate?" test data protection, transparency, decision-making, public trust

• A couple of real-world examples drawn from the questions we hear most often from town and parish councils
