The IPAA National Conference is the showpiece for the Institute and is its most important annual event.

It provides an opportunity to bring together IPAA members across Australia, and from other countries to:

• address key issues in public management
• facilitate networking opportunities between practitioners, academics and others interested in such issues
• provide a forum for debate, discussion and promotion of public sector change in Australia
• enhance the performance, perception and study of public administration nationally
• market the Institute’s work in its various jurisdictions
• demonstrate the benefits which membership of the Institute brings, including the benefits of sponsorship, it’s work and activities.

Each year the program proves to be most informative, interactive, and highly relevant. The language is professional, engaging, creates interest and reflects the high quality presenters chosen each year.

I urge all of you with an interest in the current and future challenges facing the public sector to register each year for this stimulating and fruitful event.
