Access and Beyond: Advancing a Community Technology Agenda 11th Annual CTCNet Conference June 14-16, 2002 Hyatt Regency Hotel on Town Lake Austin, Texas Full details now available at www.ctcnet.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CTCNet invites you to attend its 11th Annual Conference June 14-17, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Town Lake in Austin, Texas. Our conference has been the premier event in the community technology field throughout the past decade - no other conference draws representatives from so many of the most outstanding community technology programs together with community leaders, non-profit practitioners, funders and policymakers. With attendance expected to reach over 700, the 2002 National Conference will be the best yet! Our focus will be Access and Beyond: Advancing a Community Technology Agenda. As a field, we know we must continue striving to close the persistent gaps in access that exist in rural, low-income, and disabled communities. But in a world where education and information access increasingly utilize and rely upon technology, we also recognize that access is not enough. We must work toward an agenda that emphasizes our field's role in building community and facilitating long-term social and economic change. Join us for diverse workshops and case studies focusing on topics like programs and curriculum; policy, advocacy and organizing; technology; and organizational development. A special track this year will emphasize the position of community technology within a larger context of social and economic justice. Once again we are building in lots of opportunities for special interest networking, such as Birds of a Feather and Regional Roundtables, as well as fun social events like our Friday Night Reception (a big hit at last year's conference). Exhibitors who cater to non-profits and community technology centers will demonstrate their innovations and products and our Information Pavilion will provide attendees with access to conference materials and the Internet. What is CTCNet? We are a national network of over 600 Community Technology Centers. We offer resources to enhance each affiliated center's capacity to provide technology access and education to its constituency and to help nurture other like-minded programs in its area. We serve as a national advocate for the Community Technology field. Who attends the CTCNet Conference? The ability of our conference to attract such a diversity of relevant perspectives is one of its greatest strengths. Last year's conference, Advancing Community Technology ~ The Next Wave, drew over 600 attendees. Of those, approximately 50% represented a range of community technology centers, which were predominantly CTCNet affiliate members. Many representatives of schools, libraries, colleges, and universities attended. Participants also included representatives of leading digital divide, education, civil rights and labor organizations; technical assistance providers; community and political leaders; technology industry representatives; major funders; researchers; and others interested in the field. ~~~~~~~~ Lauren Kadi CTCNet lkadi@ctcnet.org ******************************************************************** Emily Hacker Moderator, NIFL Technology Director of Learning Technologies F.E.G.S (212) 366-8122 ehacker@fegs.org PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS ON THIS INFORMATION!!! ******************************************************************* HOLD THE DATE: FEGS Partnerships For A Changing World Benefit Dinner APRIL 9, 2002 AT THE PIERRE HOTEL, NYC Please List Your Job Openings with FEGS at (212)366-8039 If You Are interested in Making a Donation to FEGS to Help Us Continue To Provide Essential Crisis Support Services, please contact Gail Magaliff, COO at (212)366-8551 or send an e-email to gmagaliff@fegs.org PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT www.fegs.org ************************NOTE************************************** The information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the addressee(s) named above.
