THEME: Closing the Digital Divide, Creating Urban Intelligent Business Campuses

We are looking at how neighborhood strategic planning and leadership is needed to truly implement initiatives that call for use and growth with the internet and those that control it.

Keynote Speaker
We are pleased to have our Theme Keynoter, Jim Carlini, back with us this year.

Mr. Carlini is a Columnist for Wisconsin Technology Network.

He is also a Certified Infrastructure Consultant, Associate Professor - Northwestern University, Chicago, Illnois; and, President of Carlini & Associates.

Carlini can be reached at james.carlini@sbcglobal.net or 773–370–1888.

HOMEWORK - Our Findings
We know that we have much to do to see that the present Milwaukee Wireless Initiative is INCLUSIVE of People of Color and the Working Poor. These are the Milwaukeeans that too often pay the freight but enter late - if at all.

We will call upon experts, practitioners and elected officials to provide information and orientation; as well as, we will provide our plan for “digital inclusiveness”.
