Conference 2015 - "Building Trust"

Thursday 18 - Friday 19 June 2015

Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa 

GOVIS is excited to announce the conference programme.  The conference theme is Building Trust.  Current events are challenging how citizens and agencies view their relationships with each other.  What does trust mean for Information and Technology professionals within NZ government?  How do trusted relationships develop? How do government agencies work to build trust?  How is trust maintained?

We have a range of keynotes and speakers who will share their insights and practical experience for how trust "maps" across the government and industry space.  They'll share their experiences ranging from soft skills required to build trust through to defined practices and mechanisms they have used to nuture, manage and sustain trust.  In addition, some speakers will explore those dimensions of trust related to content and audience - trusted data and information, trust within teams, within agencies or even in the international sphere.

We have a number of opening and keynote speakers - for their biographies check out this page on the website.
