Join this event to learn from a wide variety of speakers on a number of topics including how to amplify historically marginalized voices in the policy process, implement short-term policy actions that have longer-term objectives, and connect evidence together to support the development of policies from conception to implementation.

<big>The current state of policymaking in the Government of Canada can be characterized as dynamic, unpredictable, and potentially turbulent, which requires policy practitioners to exhibit a high level of adaptability.
 +
 
 +
This fifth Policy Community Conference explores adaptive policymaking across three key themes: lessons learned from major policy transformations, reconciliation efforts, and systemic policy design. The event provides a valuable space for policy practitioners across the federal public service and beyond to gather, share experiences and seek advice. Participants will gain new insights on how to continually reassess and adjust government policies based on new variables to improve future policy design and implementation.</big>

Policy Community Conference 2023: The Rise of Adaptive Policymaking

Event Program

November 23-24 | 10:30 am – 4:00 pm (ET)

The current state of policymaking in the Government of Canada can be characterized as dynamic, unpredictable, and potentially turbulent, which requires policy practitioners to exhibit a high level of adaptability.

This fifth Policy Community Conference explores adaptive policymaking across three key themes: lessons learned from major policy transformations, reconciliation efforts, and systemic policy design. The event provides a valuable space for policy practitioners across the federal public service and beyond to gather, share experiences and seek advice. Participants will gain new insights on how to continually reassess and adjust government policies based on new variables to improve future policy design and implementation.
