Vendor participation is directed through partner programs.
Questions
Membership FAQ
Getting started
Is membership really free?
Yes. Membership is completely free for government, public sector and academia, including the knowledge hub, communities, on demand recordings and most events. Some Academy programs and selected training videos are optional paid add-ons, and a few events carry a registration fee shown on the event page. You never pay to be a member or to take part.
Who can join?
Anyone working in or directly supporting the public sector: federal, state and local government, agencies, health and education, plus academia and research institutions supporting public sector capability. Sign up with your work email. If your organisation's domain is not recognised yet, you can request it during registration and we will review it.
How do I get started?
Create your free account in under two minutes with your work email. Your personalised homepage is where you follow communities, set up your intelligence feed, register for events and start connecting with peers straight away.
What's included
What do I actually get as a member?
One membership covers five things: Attend events and showcases; Upskill through the Academy; Learn from the knowledge hub and On Demand library; Connect in topic-based communities; and Solve by discovering solutions through the marketplace. Communities are one part of a much wider membership.
What's free versus members-only?
Most insights are open to browse. Some content is marked members-only: webinar recordings, benchmark data and deeper reports. It all unlocks the moment you join, at no cost. The members-only label means free once you are in, not paid.
How is your intelligence different from analyst firms?
Most research looks at government from the outside. Ours comes from inside it, sourced from practitioners across jurisdictions sharing what is actually working. It is practical, peer-validated and local to your context, not generic vendor commentary.
What are communities, and how are they different from events?
Events are scheduled moments: showcases, roundtables and briefings. Communities are always on. They are private, topic-based spaces where you can ask a question on a Tuesday and have a peer in another jurisdiction answer it by Wednesday. Think of them as the ongoing conversation between events.
Do I have to contribute, or can I just read?
There is no obligation, and many members start by reading. That said, it is genuinely more valuable when people share. Posting a question, a template or a short note on what worked for your team takes a couple of minutes and helps the next person facing the same challenge.
Participation and expectations
What's expected of me as a member?
Keep it useful and respectful. Share genuinely, stay on topic in each community, respect the confidentiality of what peers share, and avoid promoting products or services. This is a peer space, not a sales channel. Our community guidelines have the detail.
Is what I share kept within the community?
Topic communities are a government and public sector only space, so you can speak candidly with peers. We ask all members to treat what is shared with the same discretion.
For solution providers
Can vendors and solution providers take part?
Solution providers are an important part of the wider ecosystem, and there are good ways to contribute. You can set up a free marketplace listing, publish thought leadership and research, and engage public sector audiences through our events and sponsorship programs. To protect the integrity of the space, providers do not get access to the government communities, the member directory or member data. Those are reserved for public servants.
