The Irish Computer Society and the Institute of Public Administration invite you to the Annual Public Sector Network Conference on Wednesday, 7 October at the IPA premises on Lansdowne Road. This is the fifth year of the event and this year there will be a twin focus on the day. With the current recession having serious consequences for the public sector in Ireland, achieving and measuring value from IT investments is critical. The conference will look at areas in which IT can be used more efficiently or could contribute to cutting costs, and showcase best practice in managing and measuring IT investments.

The second related focus will be on knowledge management in the public sector. Public sector staff numbers are being cut and many are leaving on early retirement packages. The loss of knowledge is and will have serious implications for organisations. It has drawn attention to the lack of systems to manage, retain and share knowledge in the public sector.

Venue: Institute of Public Administration, 57-61 Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

Cost: €150 for ICS Members | €250 for non-members*
