Austin Connects: Community Technology Symposium
A little something I’m working on with my friends at Austin Free-Net and Skillpoint Alliance:
Community leaders to promote digital inclusion at symposium
The City of Austin Telecommunications and Regulatory Affairs Office will co-host Austin Connects’ Community Technology Symposium Jan. 12 to address how best to serve Austin’s technologically underserved.
Keynote speaker will be David Keyes, the City of Seattle’s Community Technology Manager, who will discuss “Defining Community Technology.” Other presentations will include topics ranging from workforce development in the digital age to technology barriers to health care to technology in schools.
The symposium will be from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Microsoft Building, 9606 North Mopac Expressway, Suite 200. Limited seating is available. Cost is $25. Tickets may be purchased at www.austinconnects.net.
Austin Connects is a partnership between the City of Austin, Austin Free-Net and Skillpoint Alliance. Its mission is “to leverage mutual resources that will allow all Austin citizens to participate in the ever-changing digital age.”
City Council Member Laura Morrison will provide the welcome for the symposium.
