As part of the ongoing strategic partnership between the Police Digital Service (PDS) and techUK, we are pleased to invite techUK members to contribute to, attend, and get involved in this year’s NPCC Innovation and Digital Summit. TechUK will be part of the agenda and this key event.
Last year’s summit brought together more than 800 delegates from across the policing and technology community. Attendees explored how technology, digital tools and data can be used differently to support frontline policing and keep the public safe from harm. Feedback from delegates, speakers and exhibitors was overwhelmingly positive, and PDS has again been commissioned to deliver this year’s event — on an even larger scale.
What’s new for 2026
- More delegate places, while maintaining the requirement that at least 60% of attendees come from the public sector
- Expanded exhibition and sponsorship space to support better networking
- Increased time for engagement within the exhibition area
- The return of the highly regarded NPCC Digital Awards
The Summit continues to be delivered on a no‑cost‑to‑policing basis. For this reason, sponsorship and exhibitor involvement from the private sector plays a vital role in enabling this national event.
Theme for 2026
We are currently developing the agenda, but the central theme will focus on:
Preparing for the National Police Service and responding to the White Paper.
Further details will be shared in the coming weeks.
Opportunities for techUK Members
Demand for private‑sector places is always high due to the 60:40 public–private delegate split. Priority is therefore given to organisations that sponsor or exhibit at the event.
There are also a limited number of discounted exhibition options for SMEs and academic institutions, supporting broader participation across the policing and technology landscape.
