The Labour Party conference is hitting Brighton once again next week. Us locals are bracing ourselves for the TV crews, suits, police searches and big traffic jams on the seafront.
SCIP (Sussex Community Internet Project) where Tom is a board member have organised a fringe event, open to all, about Digital Inclusion. It’s a topic that’s something of a buzzword at the moment and this event gives us a chance to add some substance to the debate with a top line-up of speakers.
We have the very web-savvy Tom Watson MP; Helen Milner MP, the MD of UK Online; and SCIP’s Mark Walker. The session is being chaired by our very own Will McInnes and NixonMcInnes is sponsoring wine and nibbles.
The event starts at 6:00PM on Monday 28 September at Community Base, 113 Queens Road, Brighton.
There’s more info on the SCIP website and you can register for free here.
Hope to see you there!

I think the government needs to be very switched on with internet development, in the grand scheme of things this is still early days for the internet. The UK has an advantage over the rest of Europe due to language it is important that we as a nation work hard to take full advantage of this emerging market. I work for an online TV furniture website, the business employs 4 people (all aged under 25) and we sell products all over Europe, the company is going from strength to strength and we hope to double sales and employees in the next 12 months, the internet could be a fundamental pillar in Britains future economy.
