GovCamp for you

GovCamp talks about your issues

A barcamp “unconference” is simply a space to open up the public sphere conversation – to create a comfortable place where new thinking becomes possible and enables new outcomes. There are no long presentations and the topics are yours – you get to create the agenda.

So this GovCamp is about how government works, as well as how it works for citizens. It’s about the pressures of needing to do better government with less; about meeting growing public needs and expectations within an increasingly transparent and stretched public space.

It’s also about leverage points for innovation in NSW, such as connective technologies and open data. We hope to hear some big-picture policy ideas and some pragmatic new-ways-of-working.

GovCampNSW is about the power of ideas and conversation. It aspires to build upon the gov-tech or 2.0 focus and look beyond to shaping innovation in government in NSW.

Discussion will include:

• Cultural change leading to open government.
• Social technologies and service delivery.
• Policy 2.0: Why do apps have all the fun?

GovCamp is for people like you

GovCampNSW is for public sector practitioners, advisers and leaders who are excited by these challenges, who seek to better understand the risks and opportunities within emerging trends.

There are no clever corporate games; just dialogue and an open exchange of ideas.

It’s a Saturday. It’s free time, casual and as “off-the-record” as you need. And because it’s shared conversation, you’ll take away even more than you contribute.
