End of Conference networking

Expo for PSSM2004

As part of this year’s Conference, as in the previous one, we will also have several public sector agencies put up displays of any success stories they may wish to share. The purpose of this ‘expo’ is to showcase how agencies have managed to do things differently so as to impact the desired outcomes. The displays will be set up off the Town Hall in the West Court, and participants will be able to view them throughout the day.
