DC10plus Ready for Take-Off with new Digital Inclusion Minister

Across England, DC10 partners are dusting-off their best business suits in readiness for the formal launch of the DC10plus network, which is taking place in London on Tuesday at the Third National Digital Inclusion conference… in a place called the Brewery (result!)

It is also apt that Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the RSA is chairing the event. It was Matthew, in his former Cabinet office role, who dreamt-up the idea of the Digital Challenge… from which the DC10plus is now born.

Amongst the all-star line-up of speakers are the new Digital Inclusion Minister, the Rt. Hon. Paul Murphy MP and the Minister for Schools, Jim Knight MP.

Our very own Stephen Dodson will be presenting the DC10’s vision and programme. Stephen is an excellent conference speaker and we are expecting great things from him. Emma Aqusita of Bristol’s Knowle West Media Centre has worked hard to create a dynamic afternoon workshop, which promises to be very hands-on.

Public-i will be webcasting the event. So if you are unable to attend, you will be able to see the key speeches on the DC10plus website. David Wilcox will also be acting as a raporteur during the conference and workshops, capturing less formal video interviews with speakers and delegates in order to find out what people really think about digital inclusion.

For the DC10, the event marks the start of a continuing conversation about Digital inclusion. If you attend, or if you don’t, please feel free to post your comments here.
