Tech Day is an informational/advocacy event being held in Springfield on April 21st with the support of the Illinois Community Technology Consortium and CTCnet Chicago. The purpose of the day is to reinforce the relevance and value of community technology centers and community technology programs to general statewide policy initiatives. We're inviting representatives from community technology centers from across the state to come and share their experiences with legislators and each other, and we'd be pleased if you or someone from your organization could attend - program participants are also welcome! People will start gathering for donuts and informal discussion between 10 and 11am in room M1 in the Stratton Building (the bug ugly building just west of the Capital). At around 11am there will be a forum featuring speakers from the state legislature, the Lt. Governor's office, and hopefully someone from the Governor's office as well. The afternoon is being left more open for those attendees who wish to make appointments to speak with elected representatives from their districts, but I'm also hoping to organize a policy discussion/planning session to talk about things like the Illinois Century Network, the Eliminate the Digital Divide Fund, and broadband Internet access. Please let me know if you can make it! Michael D.
