The National Digital Inclusion Alliance’s (NDIA) annual conference occurred in San Antonio Texas from February 28 through March 2nd. Maryanna Milton, Barry Glicklich and Katherine Lato attended the full conference and reported on their sessions.
Key Messages/Themes:
- Contact your state broadband office.
- Beyond Digital Literacy: Digital Skill-building, Resilience, and Fluency
- We need to build a Digital Equity Ecosystem
- Digital Divide is the problem. Digital Equity is the goal. Digital Inclusion is the process.
- Money isn’t the only resource people can give us, having a direct conversation partner can be valuable.
- Find your people. It was said at the first conference in 2016, and is still valid today.
- This is our moment. Consider how to build sustainable solutions with the current wave of funding.
