[vc_row full_width=”” parallax=”” parallax_image=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]The first GovCamp Australia event in Queensland was 2012, and the most recent was July 2014 when Brisbane hosted one of the six sites for the first nationally networked GovCamp. In 2015, Brisbane is hosting two GovCamp Australia events
- A special mid-week half-day ‘Innovation Dialogue’ forum on 15 July as part of Public Sector Innovation Month, and then,
- In November, a full-Saturday program connecting 8 capital cities with video links and interactive idea sharing across Australia.
So, please join in this 2015 conversation as we start the dialogue in July – from big picture ecosystem issues to the skills challenges we all face in delivering public services – whether public sector, social sector or civic/service provider innovators.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

About the GovCamp Innovation Dialogues
The facilitated discussion sessions will be held partly in the ‘unconference’ mode of a GovCamp event, including:
- Leadership panel – featuring leadership guests taking a snapshot of local public innovation
- Conversation café segment – to stimulate interaction and explore the local public innovation ecosystem
- Mini-GovCamp discussion streams – exploring the spaces, people and conversations of value to local public innovation
- Local showcase – includes the best of GovHack 2015 + other events, tools and initiatives
- Closing roundup session and lunch
These half-day events will bring together a range of public sector leaders and practitioners, together with innovators from industry and civil society.
The purpose of the session is to stimulate discussion, debate and sharing of knowledge about public sector innovation, as well as highlighting cases from within and outside the sector for innovative delivery of public policy and services. Each city session will work towards two key outcomes:
- Mapping the local public innovation ecosystem
- Identifying key innovation soft skills of high value to public service professionals.

They are about having different types of conversations – involving public servants from all tiers of government, as well as those from industry, academia and not-for-profit organisations.”
“I’m really looking forward to the national roundup on 31 July…when I’ll get to hear feedback from each of the city Dialogue events and hopefully get to meet some of the other public sector innovators from around Australia attending the end-of-Month forum.”
“The BiiG network is proud to support this fantastic Brisbane event which offers our members a unique opportunity to have a real conversation and debate with colleagues, academia and industry about innovation in Government, which is at the heart of our network.”
“This isn’t just about ‘blue sky thinking’ but a new opportunity to explore and connect – with people like you – better ways to Get Stuff Done in a spirit of public purpose.”[/cq_vc_testimonialcarousel][vc_column_text]
