How it worksGovConnect uses a unique approach - which is the secret to our success! Our sessions are structured around a series of rotating peer-to-peer discussion tables, Interactive Round Tables (IRT), that enable and encourage deeper and more meaningful discussions.

We know that the traditional ‘talking head’ approach isn’t always the most effective way for people to learn and this format offers unparalleled opportunities for delegates to engage with leading technology leaders for in-depth discussions focused on today’s current issues and trends.

GovConnect OverviewService delivery and technology are at the core of the ICT landscape in Canada and are constantly evolving. We know that today’s tech savvy citizens expect the same level of customer experience from government departments as they do when they bank, shop, or communicate and to meet these expectations the public service must keep their skills sharp and their expertise current.

Our year-round education offerings includes insightful webinars, intimate cross country ‘by invitation only’ interactive executive round tables, and the annual GovConnect Canada Summit. The GovConnect suite of products provides the public sector community with a unique forum for professionals across the IM/IT, program, business, and finance functions to engage directly with today’s leading experts across a multitude of topics, sharpen professional skills, and drive essential conversations that support innovation and digital transformation in Canada.

GovConnect events are where Canada’s top leaders and influencers in the public and private sector come to learn about the latest best practices and technologies in digital business. You can count on GovConnect to help you cut through the hype and identify key content, products and services focused on today’s current issues and trends.
