What’s In Store for 2024
In the fast-paced modern world where change is inevitable, innovation requires great thought and courage. So how can we ensure this is of benefit to all Victorians?
Public Sector Network is delighted to be partnering with Cenitex to bring you the Innovate VIC Showcase. This year’s event promotes digital inclusivity and addresses critical issues in the state’s Digital Strategy, ensuring benefits for all Victorians.
The 2024 event will host government leaders and influencers to chart a strategic direction for a digitally inclusive state with skilled public sector workforce and tools for all Victorians. The event aims to balance ambition and practicality for collective success.
