We will need you to come to:
Lightning Lab GovTech

We will run through some of the options that we are exploring, hear your opinion and find out what your preferences are.

If you would like to meet with us please send an email to the team at supersmoothID@gmail.com - We will be in touch to arrange a convenient time to come in. Alternatively if you would still like to meet with us but can't attend on either of these days, we would still like to hear from you.
