We also designed and delivered a full day masterclass and workshop about engagement, technology and democracy for the digital communications team at The Australian Department of The Prime Minister and Cabinet.
While working for the Ministry of Environment in British Columbia Canada, Amelia ran a full day teleconference with 160 participants across 10 locations, saving the government over $60,000.
During engagement on Australia and New Zealand (NZ) National Action Plans for Open Government, engage2 hosted regular live teleconferences and videoconferences on behalf of the NZ State Services Commission and The Australian Department of The Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Engage2 run the EngageTech Forum to help governments understand the technologies available for engagement. The full day peer-to-peer learning event attracts around 100 – 120 participants.
The forums have been held in Wellington, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. The 2020 Forum was our sixth event. The multi-format forum was redesigned in 2020 to showcase virtual and online engagement tools. Over the course of the day 80 participants from 44 government organisations engaged with each other virtually, participating in workshops, interactive demos, and asked questions during panels and lighting talks.
