2nd July 2025: STEAMhouse: Cisco’s 3rd Annual UK Public Sector Solutions Summit
The Annual Summit welcomes public sector leaders, partners, and technology experts to join in a powerful day of innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking strategy.
This exclusive event focuses on how we can build better outcomes through technology and this year the sessions focused around being AI-ready, secure, and building resiliency for the digital foundation of the UK public sector — and it delivered.
🔍 Throughout the day, myself, the CAE team and other attendees explored the Innovation Hub, featuring hands-on demos and real-world solutions across:
- Smart buildings (space utilisation, digital signage, environmental monitoring)
- IoT device discovery and security
- AI infrastructure and practical applications for public services
- Contact tracing and way-finding technology
🎤 We heard directly from Cisco and our partners, on the latest in secure, AI-driven transformation, and we also gained valuable insights from public sector leaders that are shaping the future of education, healthcare, and 
government.
It was a brilliant day of learning and I had the pleasure reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones — who are all passionate about using technology to improve outcomes for the UK.
A huge thank you to everyone who made today a success. The Summit location at the STEAMhouse provided an inspiring backdrop for discussions on the future of digital public services in the UK and I’m excited about continuing these discussions with my customers.
