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 order to provide an improved user experience, the Digital Academy’s Innovation Services team has been experimenting with the development of a virtual exposition (vExpo) in support of the recent shift to virtual events. The vExpo offers a portal for virtual events, where participants can easily access event materials from one 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 or Viosk

The CSPS Digital Academy offers partnership opportunities to other Government of Canada (GC) departments who are interested in cost-sharing options to host events using the vExpo and/or to have a virtual kiosk.

Virtual kiosk 3D kiosk that can be used during virtual event exhibit halls (basic kiosk package) and that can be used as a stand-alone kiosk (Premium kiosk package).
