Tech and data for good: Preventing harm and supporting wellbeing

Organised by CGI

Join CGI for an evening of insight, discussion and networking exploring how organisations are using technology and data for good, to prevent harm, influence behaviour responsibly, and support digital wellbeing.

Through real-world case studies and expert perspectives, we’ll examine how data can be used not just to optimise systems—but to design safer, more ethical digital services that create meaningful social impact.

Our speakers

GAMSTOP, the UK’s national online gambling self-exclusion service, will explain how they use data and technology to help people block access to gambling platforms and take back control.

Their important work highlights the complex technical infrastructure behind large-scale behavioural protection systems, and the role technology can play in prevention and recovery.

Skipton Building Society will share how they use data-driven insight, ethical innovation and evidence-led campaigning to help more people have a home, make their money work harder and make membership matter – turning our purpose into positive impact for members and society.

Interactive panel discussion

We’ll open the conversation with an interactive panel, bringing together perspectives from across technology, data and digital services. This is your opportunity to engage directly, sharing questions, challenges and experiences with peers and experts.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • How can organisations design technology that prevents harm rather than enables it?
  • Where should the balance sit between innovation, responsibility and user autonomy?
  • How can data better support prevention, treatment and long-term wellbeing?
  • What are the real-world challenges of implementing “data for good”?
