Rural Women Online Keynote: Challenges and Opportunities of the Digital Era

Keynote: Challenges and Opportunities of the Digital Era

When: Thursday August 8, 5:30PM - 7PM
Where: McIntosh Centre: Main Room

Over the past decade, digital has become a critical part of our day to day lives. What does this hyper-connectivity mean for those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide? 

To answer this question and more, please join us for a keynote address from Prof Julian Thomas, Director of the ARC Centre for Automated Decision-Making and Society, RMIT. Prof Thomas will be speaking on the importance of digital inclusion as a human right in the information age; the myriad opportunities digital affords our society; and the risks posed by barriers to digital, especially for women from regional and rural areas.

Linda Nieuwenhuizen, CEO, Committee for Greater Shepparton, will deliver the Vote of Thanks.

This keynote address is presented by Rural Women Online, as part of the Greater Shepparton Digital Intensive (5-9 August) created by women, for women.
