Public Sector Data Summit 2018 | International Quality & Productivity Center | 23 October 2018 | Rydges Sydney Central, 28 Albion St, , Surry Hills NSW Sydney 2010 Australia

A recent study revealed that ready access to government data (or public sector information) in Australia has the potential to generate a value worth up to $25 billion per year. This, coupled with the advent of the Open Government Partnership and Open Data Movement highlights that governments desperately need to leverage their data to create efficiency, improve decision making and service design, and most of all increase citizen utility.

Not only does unlocking Public Sector Data pose a great opportunity, it also increases risk. Cyber crime presents a $1 billion threat to the Australian government, and governments must ensure they accurately assess the risks of data breaches to minimize risk of fraud and privacy threats.

With this in mind, we are launching the Public Sector Data Summit, which will focus on:

Realising the value of government data: using data for innovative service design, informed decision making, increased efficiency and citizen utility
Understanding the impact of Open Government to promote business creation, innovative citizen centric services and strengthen governance
Improve data management and governance strategy for increased data security, privacy and reduce fraud and cyber risk
Assess the impacts of technical advancements such as Big Data, Advanced Analytics and Automation on organisations and infrastructure
