Informal monthly get togethers for folk who do or are interested in Digital. Open to all.
I’m really glad to say the call for new blood to organise TeaCamp London has been answered.
I’ve given the lead organiser the keys to the kingdom and they’re setting up their 1st meeting with fellow organisers to discuss format, etc.
They’re expecting to launch the reboot in April 2019 so stay tuned for further details.
TeaCamp is on sabbatical until we find some new organisers to step up and run the show. If you’re interested, please contact James or Sarah to get the keys to the kingdom.
We’re very grateful to dxw who’ve regularly sponsored teacamp, providing you with all the tea and cake you can scoff. Thanks also to Curzon Victoria who’ve let us use their mezzanine level free of charge.
Theo Blackwell, London’s 1st Chief Digital Officer, is putting data and technology at the heart of making London an even better place to live, work and visit.

We may also have an update and Q&A from a team in central government about a high profile project of theirs. I’ll confirm this as soon as I can
Time and date: 4pm – 6pm, 1st Thursday of every month
Location: Mezzanine, Curzon Victoria, 58 Victoria street, London, SW1E 6QW
If you want to come to teacamp, just turn up on the day, it is open to everyone. It is upstairs in the cafe, very informal and friendly. If you are coming for the first time or on your own, ask for James or Sarah and we will introduce you to some teacampers.
Summer summer summertime, time to sit back and unwind.
There’s no #teacamp in August, as we’re too busy doing nothing.
Look out for details of our September session, coming soon.

He will talk about the transformation challenge of building clinical digital services that span multiple NHS organisations, and where he thinks the NHS needs to go in order to realise the full benefits of the internet age.

Sarah & I had a blast running teacamp in 2017. We organised some truly excellent speakers who inspired and entertained us. At December’s meetup you helped us long-list topics and people for 2018.
We’re both away during the 1st week of January, so we’ll start the teacamp year on Thursday 1st February. Hope to see many of you then.
Clare has lead the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) since August 2015. Just 4 months into the job, she was up in front of the powerful Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the now infamous review of Defra’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) delivery programme. If you have a spare couple of hours, the video makes for interesting viewing.
Clare also has a long-standing interest in leadership, change and diversity. She attends, promotes and understands the value of open space technology (A.K.A. unconferences) and is a champion of rebels, risk takers and reformers of government, especially in the digital arena.
As the most senior civil servant in Defra, she leads 1 of the departments that will be most affected by Brexit. To that end, Clare is currently working with her 3rd Secretary of State Michael Gove, who follows Andrea Leadsom and Elizabeth Truss.
