Digital Inclusion Wales: 2008 Conference Report

Networking and feedback

It was very pleasing to see so many people from different Communities @One funded projects and other

organisations networking with each other during the course of the day, to share ideas and experiences around digital inclusion. One of the main opportunities for discussion was provided by twenty exhibition stands that were situated in the conference venue’s main hall.

The stands were facilitated by a mixture of Communities @One project representatives and external, partner organisations.

Here is a selection of images from this part of the day…
