On October 26-28, 2009, IPAC will be holding its 3rd New Professionals Conference in historic Halifax, Nova Scotia. For those who do not know a "New Professional" is anyone, regardless of chronological age, who has been in the public service for less than 5 years. I think that we should also extend the definition to those who are young at heart!
Anyway, the conference organizers have done an extraordinary job pulling this conference together. The conference is divided into 4 thematic blocks with a Keynote speaker and concurrent workshops for each block. These 4 themes are:
1. Creativity & Innovation;
2. The Role & Use of Technology in a Modern Public Sector;
3. Public Engagement; and
4 Sustainability & the Greening of the Public Sector.
And of course, as new professionals you can join the Conference Facebook page or follow the conference on Twitter.
In addition to the serious parts of the conference, I am sure that delegates will enjoy that legendary Maritime hospitality!
I will be providing some short opening remarks for the conference. Karl won't let me give a Fidel Castro type 3 hour address, so I have to keep may remarks to 5 minutes :(
It promises to be a wonderful event and I will be blogging from Halifax to let you know what you are missing.
If you want to register, you still can just go to the Winds of Change website.
See you all in Halifax!
