Join the GPA's PropTech knowledge and experience group

The Government Property Agency (the GPA) is launching a PropTech Experience Group for users of the GPA’s flagship property technology products and services.

Passionate about property technology? Want to share your experience and ideas with like-minded practitioners across government?

The GPA is launching a new PropTech Experience Group to enable users to collaborate, exchange ideas and foster best practice, improving the experience for any civil servants who use the GPA’s property technology. The group is also a forum for any civil servants and technology practitioners who are involved in the design, specification, deployment and support of the GPA’s PropTech technology in their departments.

Join the launch event

There will be a kick-off in person event in London on 19 June, giving members of the group the chance to find out what the GPA’s PropTech team is doing, and gain insights into its interoperability strategy and vision for smarter workplaces. Future events will dive deeper into specific topics like AV, GovPrint, and shared networks. Throughout the event, there will be numerous opportunities to share your opinions and insights.

Head of Technology, Al Gardner, said:

There’s so much knowledge out there that we’d like to tap into – it will help make the experience of using our property technology as smooth and efficient as possible for all civil servants. We look forward to welcoming a wide range of people to the group.
