Details The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) held its 3rd annual conference at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel, October 26-28, 2009. New professionals entering the public sector with new ideas, new approaches to addressing issues, and a stronger interest in policy areas not previously emphasized are beginning to change the public sector at a pace not seen in decades. Increasing retirement rates and new demands from generations entering the public sector continue to challenge the public sector. The conference explored how the expectations of these new generations will lead organizations to adopt new ways of working, communicating, and delivering programs and services.

In particular, the conference explored four areas of interest to new public sector professionals:
  • Creativity and Innovation
  • Public Engagement
  • The Use and Role of Technology In the Public Sector
  • Sustainability and the “Greening” of the Public Sector.
