Conference on Bridging NC's Digital/Human Divide

Conference Web site: http://www.rtpnet.org/conf

RTPnet, a Triangle area community network, will host its 5th Annual
Conference: Bridging North Carolina's Digital/Human Divide and Community
Technology Awards Reception, March 19, 2004, at the William and Ida Friday
Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Effective use of Information Technology is necessary to succeed,
particularly in today's challenging economy. There is a gap between those
people and communities who can make effective use of information
technology and those who cannot.

This conference will focus on the wide variety of programs aimed at
bridging North Carolina's Digital/Human Divide. Individuals and
representatives of nonprofit and social services groups that provide
access to computers and training are encouraged to attend, as well as
educators, librarians, computer specialists, and representatives of
grant-making foundations, who want to learn how they can contribute to
this effort. This event provides an opportunity to build a personal
network of people and organizations active in using computers and Internet
technology to build a better, stronger community in North Carolina and
beyond.

For the first time, RTPnet Community Technology Awards will be presented
at the conference. These awards recognize and honor individuals,
organizations, institutions, and businesses that have made significant
contributions to North Carolina communities in the area of information and
computer technology. Nominations for the 2004 RTPnet Community Technology
Awards will be accepted through February 23, 2004.

- Online Fundraising Strategies
