Have you ever wondered how versatile public sector data can be? Or how effectively correct data can drive large-scale events?

Search giant Google recently put A-ZGovBIZ’s comprehensive data to the test through their Geospatial Sydney event on Atmosphere Maps. Targeted to a state and federal audience, the data was used to reach IT managers, strategists, planners, business managers and corporate service managers. The exclusive event was attended only by leaders in government, health and education sectors.

Held in Redfern’s Australian Technology Park, the event was run by Google’s head of Geospatial and addressed new technological directions for Australia’s public sector.

This month Google invited other interested members learn more about Atmosphere Maps. So why launch first with an exclusive focus on the public sector? It is probable that the head of Google’s Geospatial division also shares some of the insider knowledge of A-ZGovBIZ. That is, the public sector matters. This exclusive event allowed Google to communicate to key decision makers across education, health and government.
