Locus holds key industry event: ‘PSI – The Next Ten Years’
The Locus Association this month hosts a landmark public sector information (PSI) industry event examining the future of the UK PSI marketplace ahead of the upcoming General Election.
‘PSI – The Next Ten Years’ will be attended by private sector companies and key industry stakeholders, and will be addressed by Francis Maude MP, Conservative Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, Professor Nigel Shadbolt, the Prime Minister’s Information Advisor, and Locus President, Sir Bryan Carsberg.
Locus believes that this event will be an important chance to discuss how to maintain and develop a vibrant, information-driven UK economy that ultimately works to the benefit of the public sector, private sector and the end consumer over the next decade.
Audrey Mandela, Locus Chairman, said: ‘This timely and exciting event will be an excellent opportunity to hear about Government and Conservative PSI policy ahead of the next General Election.’
Notes for Editors:
1. The event will be held on Monday 25th January, 5.30-7.00pm, at Olswang LLP, 90 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6XX.
2. Locus was established in autumn 2005 and formally launched on 26th January 2006. The Association’s President is a former Director General of the OFT and Oftel, Sir Bryan Carsberg.
3. The Association exists to raise awareness of, and promote the development of, a healthy and competitive private sector in relation to PSI. Locus acts as a forum for exchange of information, keeps its members up to date with latest policy developments, and provides advice and guidance. Our members recognise the potential of PSI, but also the benefit of uniting to address some of the challenges and pooling resources to meet them. It is worth noting that the particular nature of the PSI market structure, where individual private sector organisations have limited influence, lends itself to the development of a trade body.
