Digital Futures (www.digitalfutures.ca)

Held for the first time in the fall of 2013, this multi-stakeholder engagement on all things rural broadband has become a premiere national event in Canada around broadband policy in the main, with emphasis on advanced rural network development in particular.

Digital Futures 2015 – to be held on the University of Alberta campus at Alumni House, (11515 Saskatchewan Dr NW, Edmonton, AB), on March 26 and 27, 2015 – will focus on our increasingly complex regulatory environment in Canada, in addition to providing key updates and perspectives on where new models for community-based development are emerging in the rural domain.

Representatives from industry, academia, regulatory authorities and key rural developments groups such as the Rural Development Institute at Brandon University and the First Mile Connectivity Consortium are expected to attend.

Digital Futures 2015 is hosted by the Van Horne Institute in Partnership with Master of Arts in Communications and Technology (MACT), Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta and School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS), Faculty of Education, University of Alberta.
