A New Era for Leadership | Explore, Imagine, Succeed
We are experiencing a profound transformation, an era not seen since the first industrial revolution and the advent of electricity. The rapid evolution of technologies such as generative AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing is accelerating this transformation, reshaping how we live, work, and function as a society. In less than 18 months, generative AI has matured from its first use cases to a mainstream focus for all public sector industries.
To help you navigate this new era of leadership, we invite you to join your peers and leading visionaries across business, technology, and academia for an exclusive AWS ExecLeaders event at the National Convention Centre in Canberra. This event will include leaders from across government, education, healthcare, and nonprofit industries to hear visionary stories on how leadership and technology play a role in the new era for the public sector.
You'll gain insights on fresh approaches to leadership to adopt cutting-edge technologies and walk away with:
An understanding of how to utilise new technologies like generative AI safely, with guardrails to ensure effective policy is in place and can be followed with ease.
Practical ideas and approaches on how rethinking the value of technology and optimisation can be used to fund innovation in the public sector with constrained budgets.
Success stories and lessons learned from sessions with leaders in the public sector through thought-provoking panels, peer-to-peer discussions, and industry expert insights.
