Policy Pitch

The Institute of Public Administration Canada (IPAC) is an organization which promotes networking and exchange of ideas among public servants working in federal, provincial, municipal, and Indigenous governments. An IPAC event, which promotes both networking and ideas-exchange, is the Policy Pitch, where presenters (“pitchers”) present a policy idea with the best options being determined by a panel of judges and by the audience.
