Public Sector Innovation Show

The Halifax Marriott | 8am AT
Benefits of Attending
Event Overview
In Atlantic Canada, accelerating digital transformation is happening across the public sector – organizations are collaborating and involving industry partners in the design of processes by actively soliciting ideas, gathering feedback, and co-creating better public service solutions.
When we work together with organizations and experts across a wide range of departments, we can turn ideas into real solutions and make them available for citizens. For the Atlantic public sector, this opens the door to reimagine a future in which all citizens have access to the benefits and opportunities of the digital economy.
Public Sector Innovation Show – Atlantic is a one-day event designed to provide the inspiration, tools, and information for public sector leaders to drive overall growth in their departments and the region. This conference is for the community to meet each other in the context of quality conversations from some of the leading innovative ‘doers’ in Atlantic Canada.
