As the global community strives to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, new and salient challenges add to the current demands of cybersecurity and the programmes it powers. Access to critical industry insights, trends, and solutions is even more imperative than before.
Organised by Image Engine, who puts together the annual GovWare Conference and Exhibition, the all-new GovWare Focus Series is conceived to serve as the information resource and connectivity platform to help the community tackle these current challenges with collective intelligence and collaborations.
With the theme of “Partnerships for Resilience and Advancement”, the first GovWare Focus will be a free-to-attend virtual conference and technology showcase, focusing on professional and industry development aspects.
Held online on 7 and 8 October, from 9am to 5pm GMT+8, GovWare Focus brings together 40 industry and public agency speakers and over 60 virtual exhibitors showcasing the latest in cutting edge technologies.
