Why Attend an FSTGov Summit?
An unparalleled platform for the Public Sector to engage and network
- Cement existing relationships across the Public Sector through FSTGov’s unique cross-agency forum that reaches across the Whole of Government
- Make new connections with fellow peers across Government (those that already work collectively, or have not yet had the opportunity to join these wider forums)
- Learn exclusively from relevant out-of-industry and International leaders, underpinned by relationships FST holds across A/NZ, Asia, and the global arena
- Attract talent from up-and-coming specialists and future leaders we selectively invite from across the sector and Universities
- Our agenda assembles a high-calibre speaker faculty and programme developed in partnership with key government executives
- Bridges leaders and agencies who are keen to work collectively towards aligned goals and opportunities
- Extend beyond traditional forums that do not tend to span as widely nor reach as many key leaders in Federal and State Government
- Our focus on government alone means the Public Sector can better relate and overcome shared challenges as opposed to generic technology events hosted in A/NZ
- Our customer-driven model means we host the highest quality events and activities, free of charge, for our attendees
- Events are in this way measured directly by attendee experience, value of insights shared and time dedicated
- Events are accompanied by bespoke forums that enhance professional development and opportunities to follow up and connect with peers on more than an annual basis
- Discussion formats enhance opportunities for audience and speakers to workshop learning lessons on and off the stage
Who’s going to be there?
We will be reaching an audience of XXX+ XXX Public Sector IT, Digital, Data, Cyber, and Transformation Executives.

Who is FSTGov?
Our programs feature senior leaders at the forefront of public sector innovation and offer unparalleled opportunities to have in-depth discussions with their peers across the public sector.
FST Government’s 2024 Event Series seeks to cast a high-level look at strategies and key trends in the Public Sector and as a result, we are focusing on developing a high-calibre speaker faculty as well as audience. It is tailored specifically for decision-makers within the technology space, thought leaders and innovators from government departments, agencies, educational institutions, health organisations, councils and utilities.
