Digital Inclusion Conference update
March 2nd, 2009 | by admin Published in Digital Inclusion Conference 09, Events, Government, Social media | 1 Comment
Great news last week when We Share Stuff got the go-ahead to run some form of social media workshop / info point (whatever we come up with before the dates!) at this year’s National Digital Inclusion Conference on 27th-28th April.
While the conference is aimed at the leading stakeholders and practitioners, we felt the conference fee would stop many more interested parties getting involved. Thanks to Helen Milner, of UK Online Centres, we have secured a space at the conference to promote the benefits of social media and to hopefully create some useful debate regarding the digital inclusion agenda.
We are now in the throws of organising something. Initial ideas include some form of social media surgery along the lines of those set up by Nick Booth and a live twitter debate, hopefully with some prominent twitterers. We also have a few more ideas up our collective sleeves which we’ll flesh out over the next month or so. Watch this space!

[...] We Share Stuff is hosting a fringe event at April’s Digital Inclusion Conference, and needs a venue for a post-conference meet-up. The fringe event can only be attended by conference delegates, but many of the people we’d like to reach will not be able to afford that. We want to offer the chance for non-delegates to get a piece of the fringe action, hence the additional meet-up. But we need a venue near the conference, which is in Westminster (London), and that’s very hard to find with no money. If you know of a venue we can use for fee, or could support the event financially, please get in touch (or comment below). Many thanks. [...]
