Information: GSS Conference 2026

The Government Statistical Service (GSS) Conference – ‘Data Storytelling: what statistics can tell us’ will take place:

  • in Bristol on Tuesday 20 October (All tickets are currently spoken for)
  • online on Wednesday 4 November

The committee is currently planning the event, and further information will be added to the conference pages regularly.

Tickets for the in-person event in Bristol are currently spoken for and we look forward to welcoming those attending on the day. If you wish to be added to the waiting list for in-person tickets, please contact your department’s Head of Profession.

We welcome all members of the GSS to attend the conference online on Wednesday 4 November.

This year’s online agenda provides attendees with access to our full range of sessions and opportunities to connect with other members of the GSS. Sessions will take place wholly online, rather than being livestreamed.

Sign up for your sessions on the GSS LearningHub Conference space.

(If you’re unsure how to access the GSS LearningHub, please read the sign-up instructions.)

Speakers for this year’s conference have now been selected, and will be announced shortly. If you are interested in other opportunities to present to the GSS, please email GSSNet@statistics.gov.uk.
