About the Virtual Expo

The Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) Digital Academy has advanced digital government capacity-building by piloting a range of programs to grow the public service’s skills and knowledge in various digital fields. This is done, among others, through the delivery of virtual events where subject matter experts share their expertise with public servants.

In June 2020, the Digital Academy’s Innovation Services team started experimenting with the development of a virtual exposition (vExpo) in support of the shift to virtual events due to the pandemic. Now, vExpo is used by the CPSP and other GC organizations to host large virtual events, allowing participants to easily access all event material from one central location. Participants can navigate a virtual lobby and browse through the agenda, speakers biographies, live presentations as well as an exhibit area that showcases virtual kiosks where event partners can promote and share information on their products and services.

Getting your own vExpo

vExpo is available for use by CSPS and other GC organizations to support larger-scale events. Below is a list of criteria used to determine if vExpo is a good fit for hosting your event.

  • Event duration is 4 hours or more, and includes breaks.
  • Event includes one or more activities that require participant interaction (i.e. such as breakout sessions, workshops, networking).
