ITAC invites you to join us for a thought provoking Broader Public Sector CIO panel discussion featuring four of Ontario’s influential leaders.

Wednesday, June 13, 2018
8:30 – 11:30 am

Rogers Communications, 333 Bloor St East, Toronto

Sub Basement Overflow Room

Distinguished panelists will discuss critical issues and opportunities facing Broader Public Sector Leaders and their agencies. This series is designed to be an open and transparent value exchange and to encourage the sharing of information between industry and government as well as to jointly identify IT challenges and solutions.  The goal of each BPS event is to discuss how the IT vendor community can better support government business and cultivate more effective citizen-centred service delivery.

The benefits for ITAC and its member community are extensive.  These forums provide an opportunity for vendors to establish contacts with government and industry leaders whom they might not otherwise meet.  By attending, ITAC members are exposed to government priorities to allow them to better focus their marketing and development specific to current and future needs.
