4th Annual Community and Stakeholder Engagement for Government 2021 | Konnect Learning | 23 August 2021 | Hotel Realm, 18 National Circuit, Canberra ACT 2600, Australia

When stakeholders are engaged, community trust is built and all parties are bought-in, the Public Sector performs at its best. This rings even more true throughout a crisis.

That’s why the 4th Community & Stakeholder Engagement for Government Summit comes at a vital time for the Public Sector. This event presents the key lessons in government engagement over the past six months so you can tailor your communication strategies, foster positive perceptions within your communities and produce more efficient outcomes with stakeholders.

Now in its 4th year, the Community & Stakeholder Engagement for Government Summit has become the preeminent event for Public Sector, stakeholder engagement professionals. While it’s inevitable that government events will focus on the impact of COVID-19, this event will also reiterate its key focus of case study based, interactive sessions on the core tenants of best practice stakeholder engagement for the Australian Public Sector.

Agenda Themes:
• Crisis engagement of community and stakeholders
• Citizen-centric approaches to engagement
• Develop relationships with all external stakeholders
• Collaboration with indigenous and disadvantaged communities
• Policy and decision-making buy-in
• Produce outcomes faster with trust and engagement
