Sponsorship Information Package

Sponsorship Information Package 2020 (PDF)

Over the years, Professional Development Week (PDW) has continued to exceed expectations as each year about 1,300 information management and information technology professionals participate. Workshops, keynotes, and seminars are aimed at providing insight into the management, technologies, and the people side of IM and IT.

DPI is very appreciative of the enabling role that our sponsors play in allowing us the opportunity to provide our delegates with ongoing high quality professional development throughout the year. PDW offers our delegates an excellent blend of technology and management sessions coupled with superb social events.

PDW sponsors would be hard pressed to find a comparable vehicle to participate in while improving their visibility and name recognition across government.

If you have any questions regarding sponsorship, please contact Spartacus Penev, at 613-277-8678 or by email at sponsorship@dpi-canada.com


“Real transformation is demanding and difficult. As a real partner, CGI knows how to help. CGI is proud to work with governments in Canada and globally to help public sector organizations realize their digital transformation journeys. We’re pleased to provide the best methods, platforms, solutions and people to deliver a world-class end-to-end experience for our public sector clients.

CGI looks forward to working with DPI through Professional Development week to foster the talents and leadership abilities of IT professionals throughout the public service, and invite you to come speak with one of our experts about your organizations’ business or technology challenges.”


HPE helps customers use technology to slash the time it takes to turn ideas into value. In turn, we transform industries, markets and lives. Some of our customers run traditional IT environments. Many are transitioning to a secure, cloud-enabled, mobile-friendly infrastructure. Most will rely on a combination of both. Wherever they are in that journey, we provide the technology and solutions to help them succeed. The Government of Canada has undertaken key programs to change how government interacts with Canadians and how it interacts within government. We can help.

It is our pleasure to be the Executive Sponsor of Professional Development Week 2019! HPE has consistently supported DPI and Professional Development Week as a key investment in transforming government, and enriching the learning of the public service. Congratulations to the hard-working Government volunteers, DPI Executives and all participants on another success!”

~ Paula Hodgins, President, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Canada


“The journey to Digital represents elements of cultural change, organization change as well as adoption of best practices in the implementation, adoption and support of these new tools and services. For Canada, enabling this success is dependent upon the continuous investment and development of top talent in the Public Service. The contribution of DPI in providing World Class programming and education for the betterment of its membership is unparalleled. As a long term supporter of Professional Development Week and your 2019 Gala sponsor, the TELUS team are honoured and privileged to be associated with such an amazing volunteer organization and event.”
