Born out of philanthropist Jim Palmer’s vision to restore the leadership role he believed the public sector had lost, the Palmer Conference on Public Sector Leadership has been successful in bringing together policymakers, public servants and stakeholders since 2010.

Providing a forum for dynamic discussions with diverse participants, the Palmer Conference has set a standard for high-quality dialogue and world-renowned speakers and aims to fulfill Jim Palmer’s desire to provide a process by which those who make policy, implement policy, and feel the effects of policy could have meaningful interactions and garner valuable insight from one another.
 

This year’s conference, hosted at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), will focus on The Future of Work — the challenges and opportunities “emerging” and “disruptive” technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation are having on labour and consumption.
