What previous participants told us about the EngageTech Forum

It’s not just talking heads. It’s very engaging, very participatory, lots of round tables. You’re constantly meeting new people and having new discussions.
- Alex ManchesterOBS
It was great to benefit from such a broad range of experience that people have had across different organisations.
- Alexis StarkeyDepartment of Planning & Infrastructure
It’s good that we did lots of workshops where you are sharing ideas with people and it gives you a practical platform, a practical understanding of the materials.
- Cal GrayDepartment of Premier & Cabinet
It was great to see our clients sharing their lessons with others and as a sponsor we got to really interact with delegates rather than be on the outskirts looking in.
- Jess Whittaker Head of Digital at iSentia
I think one of the most important things I’ve learnt today is how many really good tools there are for social media engagement with the community.
- Stuart CohenOffice of Environment & Heritage
It was a chance to encourage and support staff looking to innovate – and sharing lessons and experiences is key. I know everyone will be looking forward to seeing the report and hearing everyone’s ideas.
- Anne MoffatExecutive Director of State Services QLD Department of Premier and Cabinet
Today’s been a great way to get an overview of the various methodologies for engaging with community and stakeholders.
