Save the Date: Building for Digital Equity #B4DE Holiday Edition
With the holiday season upon us, the Institute for Local Self Reliance (ILSR) Community Broadband Networks Initiative and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) are gearing up for the final Building for Digital Equity (#B4DE) event of the year and encouraging digital equity practitioners to save the date.
The popular (and free) virtual gathering will be held December 12, 2023 from 3 to 4:15 pm ET and will feature a holiday-inspired theme: Digital Equity Unwrapped: End of Year Reflections/The New Year Ahead.
You can register for the event now here.
Coming on the heels of our last B4DE event in October, which is still reverberating through digital inclusion circles across the nation, we are excited to follow up with a jolly and informative agenda that will cover:
- The latest on the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
- Lightning Rounds on digital inclusion work with covered populations.
- Setting the table on forthcoming Digital Equity Act funding and how communities are preparing.
- Unpacking digital discrimination and its practical implications.
The keynote speaker for the event will be Patrick Messac, Director of #OaklandUndivided, an equity-based, collective impact initiative launched in Oakland, California.
