GovCMS Week Online Birthday Edition Wrap Up

Tuesday 26 April 2022

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for our Week Online birthday celebrations. We took onboard your feedback from our previous events to ensure that our birthday celebrations met your needs.

We had great attendance across all five of our events, and our Innovating with GovCMS event was the community favourite. With a walk through of the new functionality coming to www.govcms.gov.au – which you can still take a peek at on our website under the BETA tab. In addition to this, we had four amazing women from the GovCMS community share their journey and recipe to success in our Women in IT panel.

The new addition to our Week Online, FUNctionality, was designed to meet our more technical audience's needs. Our FUNctionality event covered modules, security and a few other technical things, whereas our FUNdamentals focused on the bare basics of creating a news page.

Our Week Online had lots of positive feedback, especially about our Women in IT panel as part of our Innovating with GovCMS showcase. Here’s some of the amazing feedback we received from members of the community: 

“Fantastic week with @AusGovCMS celebrating its seventh birthday! Lots of great sessions over the week, including engaging panel today on #womenintech”

“Another great event, thanks guys!!!”

“Just wanted to say that today's 'Women in IT' panel within the 'Innovating with GovCMS' event was awesome. I really enjoyed hearing the panellists' stories and advice. Thank you for sharing.”

If you missed out on attending an event, don’t worry. Recordings of the events, excluding the FUNctionality session, have been made available to GovCMS GovTEAMS community members.

If you haven’t signed up for GovTEAMS yet, it’s a whole of government collaboration platform based on Microsoft Teams. Reach out if you would like an invite to join GovTEAMS.

Taking a glimpse into the future, we are forecasting a potential face to face meet up. We would love to hear your thoughts and if you are keen to meet up face to face at the end of the year. The GovCMS team are definitely looking forward to an in person meet up. Share your thoughts about meeting up in person on the GovCMS GovTEAMS Community!
