What
The Worthies are the world’s first Conference and Awards dedicated exclusively to Public Sector Marketing, Communications, Advertising, Public Relations and Engagement.
As audiences continue to fragment, influencing thinking, behaviour and outcomes has never been more challenging. At the same time, the Public Sector must do more with less, so continuously improving effectiveness becomes mission critical. Collaboration and shared learning are key, the Worthies Conference and Awards brings stakeholders together to be inspired and to inspire each other.
Why
Our Conferences build capability and community through sharing best practice and thought leadership from across the globe.
We bring together change makers to inspire each other to affect enduring behaviour change through effective audience engagement.
Our Awards recognise, showcase and celebrate what works. Creative that is impactful, eyeball grabbing, scroll stopping. Work that changes behaviour, engages audiences and cuts through the noise.

- Marketing and Communications
- Public Relations

Our Conference and Awards Ceremony is taking place in Wellington, New Zealand, on 4 March 2027.
