The Conservative Technology Forum (CTF) exists as a platform for those who wish to influence the use of technology in politics and to assist in the preparation of policy for the Conservative membership of the Coalition Government; helping the Party discuss and debate technology-related issues in Parliament, devolved assemblies and in town halls throughout the UK.

Its primary topics for focus for 2010/11 being:

Cllr David Hopkins (Milton Keynes Council) represents the interests of Conservative local authority elected members on the Board of the CTF and would like to hear from fellow Conservative council members from across the UK who may be interested in getting involved in the activities of the Forum.

In particular, the CTF is keen to learn from each others' experiences on how to get better value from IT spend and thus deliver ‘a little less for a lot less’ by harnessing the new technologies to do things differently, do different things and persuade government ICT suppliers, as well as central government departments, to ‘get their acts together when dealing with the new public spending realities.

For more details email Cllr David Hopkins at david.hopkins@milton-keynes.gov.uk
