The 2009 IPAA NSW State Conference will be held on Thursday 13 August 2009, in the Crystal Palace Convention Centre at Sydney's iconic Luna Park.

It will be a unique opportunity for practitioners and academics to share their views and discuss issues around the future of the public service in NSW.

Key themes:

  • IDENTIFY: what are the current challenges?
  • what lessons can be learnt from past challenges?
  • INNOVATE: what can be done differently to address current issues?
  • what reforms are required to take us into the future?
  • INSPIRE: what climate is required for the public sector to thrive?
  • what is the role of the public sector into the future?

The state conference will benefit:
