Some delegates give their feedback on the Digital Engagement Event in London on 6th of October 2009.

I recently attended the Digital Engagement Event organized by Ten Alps Communications and managed to catch up with the Ten Alps Managing Director to ask about what was going on their website that supports their events. They have some improvements lined up that they wish to share with delegates. Hope you’ll find this useful!

While I was at the Digital Engagement Event, I managed to catch up with Nick Appleyard who prepared David Bott’s presentation slides about “Universal connectivity 2012″. Nick is Technology Strategy Board’s Lead Technologist and he talks in detail about the Digital Britain Testbed in this interview.

Take a look at what Michael Cross thought of the Digital Engagement Event held on 6th of October in London.

This session kicked off with the Chairman’s (@MichaelCross) welcome and introduction speech. I have to say, one of the joys of covering for events like this is getting to meet people like Michael who is an experienced professional journalist.

Michael’s opening remarks points out that this is an interesting time for us and also an important time for issues such as digital inclusion. It was interesting to hear Michael also point out that those challenges might include the possibility of change of government here in Britain. Its a hot topic for some time now and is a great point to ponder on. Its certainly feels like we will be going through some sort of change in school of thought here and everything is up for grabs. And the role of digital engagement will no doubt play a big role in the election coming.

Thanks so much to people at @gasstreetworks, @72prufrocks and @Mari_Browne who have helped to kick off this project!

Need more people to participate though. Find out more about this here in my earlier post. Please send in your pictures to either liz@lgeoresearch.com or tweet me @Liz_Azyan. You can find the ppt “Social Media is” here. So print it out and start writing! Then send it to me ASAP! Deadline is midnight tomorrow!!! (9th October 2009)
