The ADIA invites you to join a panel discussion, chaired by David Spriggs, around digital inclusion and the impact of COVID-19 on community organisations working to bridge the digital divide.

Organisations within the Yarra City Council in Melbourne are coming together to share challenges faced, strategies adopted and their learnings from the pandemic. We are expecting an honest discussion and a generous spirit of sharing from which a range of organisations may learn and benefit.

If you are interested in learning how organisations are responding to the impact of COVID-19 on the ground, or if you are facing similar challenges and want to hear from others, then please join us by registering below.
