You face a considerable investment when choosing to attend a conference. You'll be giving up at least two days of your time and the cost of attendance. So we've outline below the answers to some of the questions you'll be facing.

Why attend a conference?

• A fresh dose of ideas.
• Some inspiration to keep you on track during the daily grind.
• To meet and network with others.
• To stay on top of what's happening.
• To understand what the big issues are since you last got time to leave your desk!

Who is the National Conference aimed at?

• Senior and mid-level public servants in all levels of Government
• Young Professionals working in or with an interest in the public sector
• Academics and students of public administration
• Others working directly with the public sector or with an interest in the future of public administration in Australia

Why should you decide to attend or why should your boss send you?

• There's a group discount, so three or more people from the one company can attend and benefit.
• You'll be hearing from a unique line-up of presenters, delivering broad insight and ideas.
• It’s an ideal opportunity to learn from others successes and failures - so risk free learning!
• You will meet with colleagues and others in sectors, agencies you’ve never met before.
