The Digital Future Summit

I’m up in Auckland most of this week, primarily for the Government’s Digital Future Summit.

For those who can’t attend in person,you can even attend through Second Life and watch video and take part in Q&A!  Also one can subscribe to the Digital Future Blog.

Rod Oram is chairing the summit and local speakers include Sam Morgan, Rod Drury, and Stephen Tindall.  Lots of Ministers – Cullen, Mallard, Hodgson, Cunliffe and Tizard also.

I’ll be especially interested in the session on digital access to rich media led by Bernard Hickey from Fairfax. Also the session on the national broadband map.

Of interest to many will be the speech (via video) from Sir Tim Bermers-Lee who as most will know invented the WWW.

I’m presuming that they will have tables and power supply so I can blog from the summit.  if not, may be light days on Wednesday and Thursday.
