Join us for an inspiring evening with ECan Councillor Joe Davies as he showcases how digital innovation is transforming the way regional governance connects with the community. Discover how tools like live-streaming, interactive platforms, and real-time data-sharing are making local democracy more accessible, transparent, and engaging than ever before.

This session will explore ECan’s groundbreaking digital democracy initiatives – from broadcasting council meetings to pioneering digital tools that invite greater public participation in environmental decision-making.
