The challenge of closing the #DigitalDivide is still alive and well.The conversation highlights the shift in conference themes, the structure of the event, and the diverse demographics of attendees. We discuss the panels and workshops planned for the upcoming conference, innovations in rural broadband, and the future direction of the conference amidst changing policies and technologies.Sponsorship opportunities are available, with booth space quickly selling out.For more information, please see https://crrbc.ca/ or contact Amedeo at [email protected].
