Supported by Research Data Scotland, GovCamp Scotland’s next ‘unconference’ takes place this September.
Date: Monday 21 September 2026
Location: Edinburgh Futures Institute
GovCamp Scotland is an ‘unconference’, a participant-driven event for those working in the public sector, local authority and third sector organisations.
The event warmly welcomes all who wish to explore how we can achieve better outcomes for users of public services in Scotland.
Whether you are early in your career or an experienced specialist, GovCamp Scotland invites you to share your ideas, collectively explore challenges and learn together in a relaxed, open setting.
Research Data Scotland (RDS) proudly supports GovCamp Scotland, which this year is co-organised by Christina Gilfedder, RDS Associate Product Manager, with Hugh Wallace, RDS Chief Information Officer as Advisor for the event.
Christina Gilfedder said: “I am delighted to be representing Research Data Scotland at this year’s GovCamp Scotland ‘unconference’ and coordinating this event as part of the 2026 Delivery team.
We’re working hard to create a welcoming and open environment where those who work in public services can share insights, discover solutions and, ultimately, understand how we can provide or improve services that benefit the people of Scotland.”
