2015 Sponsorship Information Package
Professional Development Week
Design Your Destiny
May 20-May 22, 2015
Message from the
President
PDW 2015 is a premium learning event for
thousands of public-sector IM/IT professionals and
DPI could not offer the calibre of speakers and
workshop sessions without your support. This
year’s event will once again profile a number of
distinguished speakers such as Amanda Lang and
Rick Hansen who will be addressing the emerging
trends in technology, business, and professional
development.
I thank you for taking the time to explore our
sponsorship package and consider the benefits of
supporting PDW2015 as an Official Sponsor.
The Association of Public Sector Information
Professionals (DPI) has been offering exceptional
learning and development opportunities to public
sector IM/IT professionals for over 50 years! Once
again this year, DPI will be hosting its premier event
Professional Development Week 2015 (PDW 2015)
at the Ottawa Convention Centre from May 20-22,
2015. We have asked the IM/IT community what
was important to them and carefully crafted a 3-day
program that is sure to inspire everyone.
The theme this year is “Design Your Destiny, Live the
Change” and the focus is on People, Transformation
and Opportunities. At DPI we recognize that having
the right people with the right skillset is the key to
success. As technology continues to evolve and
expand to include new business lines, it has never
been more important to focus on the people that
are called upon to drive change.
Government and public sector organizations across
the country and around the world are experiencing
unprecedented growth and limitless technology
expectations from a wide variety of stakeholders.
Never have knowledge workers been more in
demand, nor have the opportunities to invest in
training and learning to provide support for these
organizations, enabling them to remain relevant into
the future.

Design your Destiny, Live the Change
PDW 2015
In just the last two years, you’ve seen the landscape of Information Management and
Information Technology (IM/IT) in government begin to change beyond changes of
technology. You can see that this change is structural. And it’s everywhere. From the
desktop to servers, from the role of the CIO to the role of the desktop support staff,
government IM/IT is changing fundamentally.
This year’s theme for Professional Development Week, Design Your Destiny, Live the
Change is about seizing the opportunities that come with all kinds of transformation to be
an active designer of your destiny. It’s about building those business-driven skills that are
so critical to your future. It’s about recognizing that knowledge workers have never been
more in demand, and government has never needed to innovate more. Your future can be
about feeding that ever-growing hunger for innovators, in all fields, who can match the
business drivers with innovation and technology.
DPI has been helping IM/IT professionals to look beyond the machine, to make smart use
of new technologies and embrace new ways of working for more than 50 years. It’s more
important than ever to seize your opportunities, to design your destiny, to live the change.
Join us at Professional Development Week May 2015.
