We are planning an exciting event which is to be held at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, in South Skye, on 7th and 8th March 2008. The event will aim to help our communities exchange information, free up resources, and find new and better ways of working by showcasing a wide range of ICT possibilities. The event is open to representatives of community organisations, and attendance is free (we will also offer support for those travelling from further afield).
While the event programme will be based on the findings of our research in Skye & Raasay, we are also interested to know about other problems and challenges faced by rural, remote and often isolated communities, and how ICT can be used to address these. This could be related to lack of services, skills and training needs, access to equipment, security issues, and all manner of other things.
We are planning to run a couple of sessions where questions can be posed to a panel of experts in ICT, the voluntary sector and community development. Questions will be collected on a graffiti board throughout the event, but we'd like to start the ball rolling by inviting your comments and questions here on this blog, so please post your points!

We would love to be able to attend this event but we would need to know whether or not travel expenses will be paid and if there is lunch provided.
Hi Scrooge! I'm delighted to tell you that we will be offering to reimburse travelling expenses and we have decided that a light lunch will also be provided. Look forward to meeting you there!
