Digital Opportunities: Growing Connections Across North Carolina

June 4, 2024
9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m

BAND-NC, with support from The Dogwood Health Trust, invites digital inclusion partners from around North Carolina to the Digital Opportunities Gathering on June 4, 2024, at Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock, NC. 

The Digital Opportunities Gathering is a celebration of the completion of Dogwood Health Trust planning grants and the beginning of regular statewide gatherings on digital inclusion. To continue to build and sustain strong digital equity ecosystems across North Carolina, practitioners, funders, and community members need to come together to share knowledge, best practices and innovative solutions to obstacles.

Working with national, state, and local partners, our agenda will cover important topics including:

• Celebrating Western NC completed plans
• Working with funders
• Rural infrastructure challenges and opportunities
• Telehealth
• Digital skill building
• Outreach and engagement
• Starting and sustaining projects
• Rural faith community collaborations

This free event will be held in-person. Travel scholarships are available for DHT grantees.
