Innovation Conference: Save the Date (20-21 Nov) & Seeking Talks

Written by | 31 July 2017

The OECD’s OPSI and our partners at the European Commission are excited to convene innovators from around the world for a conference on “Innovation in Government: The New Normal” on 20-21 November 2017 a the OECD Conference Centre in Paris, France. We’re lining up a lot of fantastic speakers – would you like to be one?

Innovation in Government: The New Normal will highlight insights from OPSI’s work with countries that are transforming their operations and improving the lives of their people through innovation. It will bring together government leaders, public servants, and innovative partners in industry and civil society to connect, share experiences, and collaborate.

We’re looking for innovators from the government and its partners to give interesting and inspiring talks on innovation examples and experiences. Have something you’d like give a talk about?
