2006 Summit: Strategic Use of Information and Communication Technology for Communities
2006 Summit
Strategic Use of Information and Communication Technology for Communities
February 24-26, 2006
February 23, 2006 - First Nation Pre-Conference Sessions)
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Communities around the world are taking advantage of the Internet to improve people's lives. Strategic use of information and communication technologies
(ICTs) is helping create social and economic change in health, education, culture, and to increase civic engagement. But the benefits are not evenly distributed. "Digital divides" persist in urban and rural communities, among First Nations and others.
The 2006 Summit will bring together a powerful mix of community leaders, technology service providers, business, government, researchers, and non-profit organizations that are engaged in using ICTs for development. The diverse program will reflect the local, regional, national, and international make up of the organizers, presenters, and delegates. It will also reflect the organizers commitment to provide delegates with tools that
are readily applied to local community projects.
