Sunderland will be hosting its first 'Community Barcamp' on Monday 24th November at the Stadium of Light.

BarCamps are democratic, user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp).

The event, which is FREE to attend and runs from 6 til 8pm, will bring together people that use services in the community with the people that build and provide them to talk about how technology can improve everyone’s life.

· Relaxed, social setting

Thu, 08/07/2008 - 11:12 — Graham Jordan

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.
