Transforming the Public Service Through Digital Government

You have likely heard about disruptive technologies, artificial intelligence, deep learning, robotics, the internet of things and big data. But how will these technological advances impact how we work? How do we harness these changes to provide more effective services to Canadians? This day-long event ‎was organized by the Canada School of Public Service in collaboration with the Canadian Digital Service of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.

This is your opportunity to hear again from world experts and public service leaders on how technologies are transforming the way we work, communicate and interact with each other, and about the security issues we need to consider over the long term.
