Public Sector Event
Closing the Capability Gap
Venue: Online
Date: 24 Mar 2026
Synopsis: Action vs reality: building the skills to deliver AI-enabled estates
Details:
Join us for the second roundtable in a series of exclusive events bringing public sector estates and FM leaders together for open, forward-looking discussions on what the future really holds for public sector estates.
Estates and facilities teams are facing unprecedented pressure. Alongside ageing assets, constrained budgets, net-zero commitments and increasing compliance risk, leaders are now expected to harness data, automation and AI to transform how estates are managed.
New GovNews and Bellrock research shows the sector at a critical juncture. While leaders increasingly expect AI and advanced analytics to reshape estates and FM, confidence in workforce capability is lagging behind. Over 40% of healthcare respondents and nearly 40% in local government say they lack the skills needed to deploy AI effectively.
To explore how organisations can bridge the gap between ambition and reality, GovNews, in partnership with Bellrock, is hosting a series of exclusive, invite-only roundtables for senior estates leaders across healthcare and local government.
