Hi,

I've just posted more detailed info about Sunderland's IT in the Community conference in late November. It strucjk me that this will bring together a good handful of like-minded individuals that may wish to participate in a fringe programme of barcamp-type gatherings etc.

Big question for me , though.

I've never organised unstructured programmes etc like this before. How do you kick something like that away? Do you think people would be interested? What would need to be provided?

Thanks
Graham

Please find attached details of a conference being organised by colleagues in Sunderland.

IT in the Community
The Importance of the Use of Digital Technology and Innovation to Promote Social Inclusion

25th and 26th November 2008
Sunderland, The Stadium of Light
This National Conference will demonstrate the use of digital technology and innovation to promote social inclusion. The conference will also show the importance of the integration of technology, community engagement, empowerment and capacity building programmes.

Who would benefit from attending:

Following a similar event last year and hot on the heels of Digital Mentors and Digital Challenge, I have received notification of a forthcoming national conference from colleagues at Sunderland City Council. If you have any comments, suggestions or would like further information please contact debbie.ross@sunderland.gov.uk.

Hi All,

A quick formal notification that the National IT in the Community Conference will be held in Sunderland for the second year this year.

Saw this and thought of you, as the old Post Office advert used to say...
