Computers and web connectivity alone do not guarantee that individuals and community based organizations will take advantage of the benefits and opportunities provided by information technology (IT) tools. This conference is a hands-on, in-depth professional development opportunity for those who want to learn how to help small business owners, local government officials, non-profit managers, and community leaders use Information Technology tools effectively. Programs presented include e-business, e-government, e-non-profits and community network projects. A key component is to discuss potential implementation strategies in participants' home states.

For committee members and workshop attendees, the Discussion Board is now available. (A password is needed to access this site.)		 Link to Bridging the Digital Divide Discussion Board
