| + | =About vExpo= |
| + | vExpo is the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) virtual event platform. This event portal aims to enhance the participants’ experience by providing access to all event information from one central location, while making it engaging and easy to use. |
| + | This innovation project was launched following the shift to virtual events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first iteration of the product was first used at an event in June 2020, and has since continued to evolve. While vExpo continues to be used for CSPS virtual events, work continues to iterate on the product, leveraging and experimenting with modern and immersive technologies to bring new features and experiences to virtual events, as well as other immersive learning experiences. |

| + | =vExpo Kiosk= |
| + | The virtual kiosks are used by departments, communities, and program areas to showcase their initiatives and share information about their products and services, in a visual and interactive format. |
| + | The kiosks can be integrated as part of a vExpo, Web presence or promotional package. Kiosks usually include: |
| + | |
| + | <div style="column-count:1"> |
| + | |
| + | - Kiosk name (name of the department or initiative) |
| + | - Content (visuals and decorative text with links to websites, videos, etc.) |
| + | - Contact information (email, social media) |

| + | =Who can use vExpo?= |
| + | vExpo is a platform developed in-house by the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) to support virtual events hosted by, or in collaboration with the School. vExpo is not available for use by other departments to host departmental events. |
| + | GC departments may be invited by CSPS to host a virtual kiosk at an upcoming school event. Kiosks developed for an event can be repurposed for future events or used independently as stand alone kiosks, independently from an event. |
