Eastern Region PSN Workshop

The following conference has been arranged with E2BN to consider PSN networks for Eastern Region - all welcome. Unfortunately I will be skiing in Austria so Ian Wilcox of the Cabinet Office has kindly stepped in for me. Attendance is strongly advised for all staff working in Networking, ICT Strategy and Shared Services.

E2BN will be hosting a PSN workshop on 23rd February 2011, to be held in the Rose room Endeavour House, Suffolk County Council, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, IP1 2BX
We will explore the current government thinking, learn from work already under way in the region and other parts of the country and see how the new regional public sector network can be exploited for PSN and make savings for us all.
