Enjoyed a fantastic day at the #SAASHOW in Birmingham. Great learning & networking, and I particularly enjoyed being on a panel discussion on the new public procurement regulations and how MATs and schools can get the help and support they need. #procurement #buying #schools

Yesterday I represented Get help buying for schools as part of a great pre recorded talk on experimenting with AI as part of Digital Leaders week, and at exactly the same time that was broadcast I was also part of a brilliant panel discussion at the 2024 Social Value Conference.
