Webinar: How Southwark Council is Using AI to Transform PDF Publishing in Drupal

DF documents have long been a barrier to digital inclusion, yet heavily featured within local government and local government websites, until now. Working with Chicken and the LocalGov Drupal community, Southwark Council has officially set a new gold standard for public sector innovation, taking home the prestigious 'Digital Leaders AI Impact Award 2026' for their groundbreaking AI-powered PDF Importer.

Join James Hall (Product Lead, Websites at Everyone TV) as he interviews Angie Forson (Web and Digital Programme Lead at Southwark Council) to pull back the curtain on this award-winning project. Discover how Southwark Council leveraged an intelligent AI pipeline within the LocalGov Drupal ecosystem to solve a decades-old problem: turning inaccessible, static documents into clean, structured, and accessible HTML in minutes.

During the session, learn how building in the open has allowed other councils to reuse this AI solution, raise the national baseline for accessible publishing, and why automating repetitive tasks allows staff to refocus on high-value, people-focused public service.
