Join us at IPAA ACT’s Commencement Address to the APS, is a fresh new take on the traditional, end-of-year APS Annual Address that brings the Australian public sector together to gain clarity and insight into strategic priorities for the year ahead.

Hear a keynote from Dr Steven Kennedy PSM, Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, followed by an in-conversation with Dr Steven Kennedy and Professor Gordon de Brouwer exploring the priorities for 2026, insights on the issues shaping the Australian public sector, and how we all can continue delivering meaningful outcomes for Australians.

This event offers a chance to think strategically about your role, engage with colleagues from across the sector, and be part of a discussion that supports better policy, delivery and collaboration. Stay on for canapés, continue the conversation, and get the year off to a purposeful and informed start.

Secure your place and start the year with focus, insight, and connection.
