About this event

Join us on Wednesday 6 May for a dynamic afternoon with leaders from blue lights and justice as we explore how technology is powering reform across our emergency services and criminal justice system.  

Discover how digital innovation is transforming frontline response, modernising services, and shaping a smarter, more connected future. Following the keynote session, addresses and panel discussion, enjoy drinks, canapés, and the chance to connect with peers and sector experts in a relaxed networking setting. 

techUK’s Justice and Emergency Services programme serves as a vibrant hub for collaboration across the justice and public safety community, uniting national policing bodies, local forces, fire and rescue services, and wider justice partners. Through regular engagement, the programme brings industry leaders together with frontline and strategic stakeholders to explore the power of technology and data in transforming services. It creates an environment where innovation thrives, connections are strengthened, and the real-world impact of digital solutions on public safety is showcased. 

Our annual event is far more than a networking opportunity; it’s a vibrant gathering designed to connect techUK members with influential leaders across the justice and blue light sectors. We are welcoming an impressive mix of attendees, including representatives from Home Office, National Police Chiefs’ Council, Police Digital Service, Ministry of Justice, City of London Police, as well as police forces, fire and rescue services, and many more stakeholders across the public sector.
