Gala Reception - End Digital Poverty Day

Join us for our Gala Reception to mark End Digital Poverty Day on 12th September 2025.

A chance to celebrate the great work happening across the UK to tackle digital poverty, our annual Gala Reception gives an opportunity to make new connections whilst also learning more about current digital inclusion work across sectors.

Taking place at the Bankside Gallery - set right on the River Thames close to the south entrance to Blackfriars station, the evening will feature speeches from the DPA's CEO and key partners. Every ticket holder will receive a welcome drinks, as well as a buffet style meal. There will also be chances to win some wonderful prizes.  In addition, the winners of the UK Digital Inclusion Awards will be announced at the event.

Opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980, Bankside Gallery is run by an educational charity, and also home to the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

The dress code is 'fun and fabulous' - some people go for business suits and cocktail dresses, but we encourage you to interpret what will work for you!

Buy your ticket now. Industry Forum members receive two free tickets per organisation - if you haven't joined, why not consider it?

We are delighted that this year again the event is sponsored by Currys plc.
