LocalGov Drupal to Host Introductory Webinar During Open Source Week
LocalGov Drupal is set to open the 2026 Open Source Week with a live webinar on Monday, 26 January, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm, offering UK councils a guided introduction to its open‑source publishing platform developed specifically for the local government sector.
The session will showcase how more than 40 local authorities are already using LocalGov Drupal to save time and money by sharing a common codebase, co‑designing new features, and avoiding long‑term vendor lock‑in. It forms part of a broader week‑long event that promotes the role of open source in sustainable, collaborative public sector digital transformation.
During the one‑hour interactive webinar, attendees will explore how the platform supports accessible, user‑centred websites tailored to the needs of residents. Speakers will demonstrate how councils work together to develop reusable modules and will provide a practical roadmap for those interested in joining the network.
The LocalGov Drupal team will also highlight key benefits of their collaborative model, including improved content management, faster delivery cycles, and reduced dependency on proprietary platforms. Designed to be interactive, the session will include time for questions and discussion, making it ideal for both digital strategists and service managers.
This webinar is especially relevant for councils seeking to modernise their digital estate, comply with accessibility standards, and connect with a growing peer network committed to shared development and open source values.
