GovMedia Conference & Awards 2024 celebrates excellence in Asia Pacific governance

The conference and awards programme offered a dynamic platform for thought leadership, providing valuable perspectives on innovative approaches to governance.

Spotlighting outstanding government initiatives across the Asia Pacific region, the GovMedia Conference & Awards 2024 concluded with a conference and awards ceremony on Thursday, 13 June 2024, at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore.

The conference session served as a catalyst for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and inspiration. Participants gained unparalleled insight through panel discussions on the trends and best practices that are transforming the public sector in the Asia Pacific.

The much-anticipated awards ceremony celebrated outstanding achievements in government projects across various categories. Honouring nominees from across the Asia Pacific, the ceremony recognised initiatives that exemplify leadership, creativity, and impactful results in public service. 

This year’s entries to the awards programme were evaluated by an elite panel of experts, including leaders from Ernst & Young LLP, PwC Singapore, and KPMG.

“With the amount of authority and influence it has, the government sector is crucial in shaping the growth and direction of the country and region. Impactful government projects will not only affect the present but also change the future of generations down the road,” stressed Guillaume Sachet, KPMG Partner, and a judge at the awards programme.

Meanwhile, talking about his criteria for judging, EY Managing Partner Benjamin Chiang said, “The projects should improve the citizen experience via citizen-centric solutions, or enhance productivity and increase efficiency for government agencies. Ultimately, there must be transformative outcomes and high adoption rates from these efforts.”
