On Thursday, 15th May, CloudyIT was proud to host its third DisGovery Day, this time with the warm support of the fantastic team at Dunstable Town Council. Following successful events in Taunton and Trowbridge, this latest training day welcomed clerks, council officers, and digital champions from across the Home Counties for a packed agenda of training, discussion, and collaboration.
The energy, curiosity, and collaboration on display made it another standout event in our DisGovery Day series, with practical demos, fresh ideas, and valuable connections made throughout the day.
We were also delighted to support Dunstable’s Wear It Green Day, part of Mental Health Awareness Week, proudly backing the important work of the Mental Health Foundation.
A Day of Practical Learning and New Launches
Our Dunstable event offered a carefully curated mix of hands-on training and future-focused insight:
- AI in Action: Engaging sessions led by Steve Walker and Matthew Turnbull showcased the real-world impact of GovAssist AI, with live demonstrations of how it can support grant writing, meeting prep, and efficient decision-making.
- GovSuite in Focus: Participants got hands-on experience with our Finance and Meetings tools, learning how these platforms streamline council operations and improve outcomes.
- Digital Skills and Training: We officially launched our revamped online training workshops and the Meet the Trainer service – providing councils with more accessible, personalised support.
- Introducing Our Digital Skills Team: We were delighted to announce the formation of our new Digital Skills Team, headed up by Susan Austin, who will be leading our training strategy going forward.
- Upcoming Training Workshops: We also unveiled our schedule of new training workshops for the rest of the year, which will go live on the CloudyIT website in July.
With a 4.7 average approval rating from attendees, the day clearly hit the mark.
