One Drupal booth, four agencies
On Wednesday 29 July 2026, Salsa Digital is joining Annex, Morpht and PreviousNext at the Public Sector Network's Government Innovation Showcase as part of Government Innovation Week New South .
Four of Australia's leading Drupal agencies. One booth. One shared message: open source is helping governments deliver secure, citizen-centred digital services that create lasting public value.
Yes, we're competitors; and that's exactly the point. Open source succeeds because collaboration is built into its DNA. We compete through our expertise and experience while contributing to a shared platform that benefits the entire government sector.
Talk AI, Drupal CMS and security
Visit the Drupal booth to talk AI, Drupal CMS, security, content governance and digital service delivery.
Whether you're planning a content migration, evaluating a design system, improving search and discoverability, or exploring how AI can support your publishing workflows, you'll be able to speak with people who have delivered these solutions across Commonwealth, state and local government.
Bring your questions, your challenges and your ideas. We’re always happy to share what we've learned.
Meet Akhil Bhandari
Also at the booth will be Akhil Bhandari, Salsa Digital's Business Development Manager.
Akhil works with government agencies across Australia to help organisations navigate digital transformation, modernise their digital platforms and build practical roadmaps for future investment. If you're considering a new website, planning a new web project, or simply want an informed discussion about what's working across government, Akhil can provide practical, real-world insights drawn from projects delivered across the public sector.

Designing services around citizen needs
Government services should be designed around people's needs and not organisational structures or agency boundaries.
This session will explore how agencies can reduce friction across digital journeys, scale successful innovations and improve operational efficiency while maintaining consistency, trust and service quality.
Topics include:
- Designing services around citizen needs rather than internal structures or agency boundaries
- Reducing complexity and friction across online service journeys
- Scaling successful service innovations across agencies while maintaining consistency and trust
- Using digital innovation to improve operational efficiency without compromising service quality
Drupal already powering NSW Government
Drupal is already at the heart of digital government in New South Wales.
Drupal powers the NSW Government's mandated OneCX platform, including , providing the standard digital platform used under the NSW Government Brand Framework. It is also trusted by hundreds of Commonwealth, state and local government organisations to deliver secure, accessible and scalable digital services.
Visit the Drupal booth to see what that looks like in practice, discuss emerging trends such as AI-enabled publishing and knowledge governance, and explore where government digital services are heading next.
We look forward to seeing you at the Government Innovation Showcase .
