11am – 12pm – 15 February 2011

Are you responsible for consultation in any way? Then I am sure you are aware of three things:

  1. Consultation and engagement are higher on the public sector agenda than they have been for a long time

Your presenter Gez Smith is ideal for the topic. He is the account director for Delib, which specializes in providing online consultation and public engagement services.

The webinar is happening on 15 February 2011 between 11am and 12pm and it’s bound to be oversubscribed as we can only handle a limited number of seats.
