Digital Britain – West Midlands Unconference

This coming Tuesday will see an informal get together in Birmingham aimed at producing a response to the interim Digital Britain report. The Birmingham event is one of a number of events being held around the country under the umbrella of the Digital Britain Unconference. It will be held at BCU’s Margaret Street Building on Tuesday 12th May 2009 from 10am – 1:30pm.

The event will not keep to a strict unconference format (we prefer to see an unconference as being informal rather than unstructured). A call has been put out for people to chair a number of different strands of the day. Each strand will aim to explore one of the five key points of the report.

Digital Britain Unconference West Midlands has been convened by Interactive Cultures and Aquila TV. We would like to thank Margaret Street for the use of the room, and also our colleagues Clare Peters and Elizabeth Short who have put this event together in less than a week.
