IPAA NSW Regional Pop-Ups are relaxed, locally hosted gatherings that bring public sector professionals together to connect and exchange ideas. This is your opportunity to bring colleagues together in your region and your chance to design something that reflects local priorities — whether that’s a café catch-up, BBQ or bake-off – on behalf of the IPAA NSW member community.
