This highly engaging and entertaining panel will explore four challenges governments have faced and continue to face:

1. Government messaging and communication in the time of COVID-19

2. Governments’ role in the economic ‘rebuild’

3. Smart, predictive government and 

4. Government, trust and democracy post-pandemic.

While exploring these topics, we will unpack some of the key initiatives that Salesforce helped make possible over the past 12 months.

Social services making an impact
Governments’ role to provide support to our most vulnerable citizens has never been more important and in many ways stands as a measure of our values as a community. Join us to hear how the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) here in Australia are working with Salesforce to support those in most need. 

Bringing together skills, businesses and people
As COVID-19 impacted personal protective equipment (PPE) supply chains around the world, the Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) responded. Realising the potential to create locally-produced PPE, it created a self-managed platform to connect manufacturers, suppliers and customers along the production chain. Join us to hear how the AMCG implemented a speedy and effective solution to bring together skills, businesses and people in our community at the height of the pandemic. 

Trust in government
A year on from our research collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) on the Trust Imperative we are living in an era of QR codes, border permits, contact tracing, paperless document signing, and digital licensing. Smart, data-driven government will support the fastest, most sustainable, cost efficient route to recovery. Hear from BCG and Salesforce on trust and government as our nations look to protect and support lives and livelihoods beyond the crisis.
