An interactive forum to help government staff find the right technology for engagement

Do you know the most effective technology options for engagement with your community?

The EngageTech Forum is an interactive event designed to help public servants understand the technologies available for community and stakeholder engagement.

It’s a technology showcase with a difference, where participation and peer-to-peer sharing is encouraged. You won’t just be presented to or pitched at. It’s designed so that you can share your lessons, ask questions and discuss opportunities with others experimenting with tools for engagement in New Zealand. We’ve even used experience design methods to make sure it’s actually engaging!

You’ll see a spectrum of technologies available for consultation and engagement. We’re not just talking about online engagement and social media, the EngageTech forum will cover all the different ways you can use technology to understand, engage and work with community.

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.
