CSG Conference 2025

The Cavendish Square Group’s Annual Digital Conference 2025, titled “Analogue to Digital – What Does It Mean for Mental Health Trusts?”, will take place on 27 June at the Royal College of Nursing. This pivotal event brings together executive leaders and digital transformation experts from across London’s mental health trusts to explore how digital innovation can address the sector’s most pressing challenges—from rising demand and workforce pressures to the need for equitable, tech-enabled care. With a dynamic agenda featuring national policy insights, real-world case studies on AI and EPR optimisation, and interactive workshops on digital literacy and leadership, the conference aims to inspire system-wide collaboration and accelerate meaningful change.
