GovCampNSW is an invitation to be part of an emerging conversation, that may inspire and shape new opportunities for innovation in government in Sydney, in NSW and beyond.

It is an opportunity to talk with a mix of people – from inside and outside government, from the worlds of technology and policy, of community and universities – to talk about shaping an agenda for innovation in NSW and to make a start on that agenda.

Globalisation, greater inter-connectedness through ICT and the increased advocacy of NGOs have all contributed to making citizens more aware of
their rights and more demanding of governments.

The public sector cannot hold all the answers
and must look beyond itself in developing solutions to public issues.

GovCampNSW is excellently placed to bring together those who can assist in searching out those solutions.”

 Chair, Advisory Board,
NSW Public Service Commission

Innovative public service depends on collaboration and connectivity – between agencies and jurisdictions and with businesses and non-profit organisations.

I’m delighted to see this GovCamp taking place in Sydney which can add momentum and creativity to the search for new ideas and new angles on the big issues facing government and the public service.

I’ll be keen to see the results of your work… hope it goes well!”
