Save The Date: Next Building For Digital Equity Event Set For Digital Inclusion Week
With Digital Inclusion Week (DIW) less than a month away, ILSR and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) are gearing up for the next Building for Digital Equity (#B4DE) event and encouraging digital equity practitioners to save the date.
The popular virtual gathering will be held Oct. 3 from 12 noon to 1:15 pm ET and will focus on the DIW-inspired theme: “Building Connected Communities: Sustaining Momentum.” The event is free and open for registration here.
Building on the success of our previous events, we are excited to present a fun and informative agenda that will cover:
- On-going efforts to save the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and lessons-learned on boosting ACP enrollment
- Outreach to covered populations
- The power of ethical storytelling in digital inclusion work
- How telehealth can be a key driver of broadband adoption
- The nexus between infrastructure and digital equity
The keynote speaker for the event will be Joshua Edmonds, CEO of Digital C, the Cleveland-based nonprofit technology social enterprise. Edmonds will focus on the link between building appropriately-motivated physical networks and how infrastructure and digital equity work go hand-in-hand.
