For the latest news, exceptional speakers and some world-famous east coast hospitality, join us at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel, October 26-28, 2009 for the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) 2009 National New Professionals Conference.

In addition to renowned experts and the latest updates on public service issues of interest to new public sector professionals, we’ve got new public sector professionals from across Canada, scenic beauty, cultural attractions and a welcoming people with open arms and big smiles!

In particular, the conference will explore four areas of interest to new public sector professionals:
The 2009 IPAC National New Professionals Conference will help us understand the perspectives and interests of today’s new generation of public sector professionals and prepare for tomorrow.
