Lab of the North Event: Smarter Places, Better Decisions

We’re incredibly excited to announce our next Lab of The North event, which aims to explore how advanced wireless connectivity and real-world data are transforming local services. Councils are collecting more data than ever before. The real challenge is turning that data into better decisions, better services, and better places to live.

On Wednesday 20 May 2026, Lab of The North will host a one-day event at York Racecourse, bringing together councils, innovators and infrastructure leaders.
