Mega Meetup Event – Wrap Up!

Thank you to those that attended the GovCMS Mega Meetup Event!
What an exciting day - we saw a great turnout, with over 200 guests attending the event at the Woden Southern Cross Club. We heard from community agencies, industry experts and the future direction of the GovCMS platform. 
Although the Mega Meetup Event is over for another year, we would love to hear from you about how your experience was and how we can keep improving the event year on year. Tell us all about it by completing this short event survey, it only takes about 5 minutes.
