All Together Now - Opening the Digital Door Conference

Hosted by the E-COOP - Digital Public Spaces project - funded by Interreg 4c.

This regional event will showcase the digital inclusion initiatives being delivered to engage public users with online services and digital information across Cambridgeshire.

We have 3 confirmed speakers for the day:

Anne Faulkner - Business and Innovation Director for UK online centres

Anne's talk is on - Discover, seed and scale: UK online centres as a model for digital public spaces

Ken Banks - Mobile Technologist. Founder of kiwanja.net, FrontlineSMS and Means of Exchange.

Amit's talk is titled - 'AskSARA - online guided advice for independent living'

The ECOOP project is working on 3 themes:

1. The participation of all citizens and stakeholders in digital public spaces and services

2. The role of local authorities, their budgets and the use of volunteers

3. The co-building of services with users

We will be holding workshops based around these themes at this event and these will give attendees a chance to interact and to share knowledge and experience.

As well as speakers and workshops there will also be a chance to see organisations demonstrating the work they're doing with technology to tackle digital exclusion.
