Following on from the local e-gov EXPO series of events this year's t-Gov EXPO Spring has been designed by local authorities for local authorities, to answer the key questions that all councils now need to be asking themselves:

• How can we deliver 5% year-on-year savings for CSR07 – and drive up service quality?
• What can local government learn from the private sector about being ‘customer-centric'?
• What will the LGWP business improvement package contain, and how useful will it be?
• What does HM Government's CIO think about local government?
• How will the roles & responsibilities of council officers change in the short and longer term?
• What does international best practice in transformation look like – and how far do we have to go?
