"Community Technology - Survival and Success"
December 8th-10th, 2002
Hyatt Regency Hotel Town Lake, Austin, Texas
Today's community leaders know information technology is now vital for
community survival and success. But economic downturns, dwindling government

The 2002 National Community Networking Conference brings the world's
leading community networking experts to assist communities in developing
successful local technology programs. Government officials and industry
leaders join the world's most experienced community network professionals
to present key information and assistance for community technology planners.
Organized and presented by the TeleCommunity Resource Center (TCRC) and
Association for Community Networking (AFCN) this "How To…"
conference clearly explains rapidly changing technologies, policies, projects
and services in simple terms for beginners and veterans alike.
Conference hosts include: TeleCommunity Resource Center; Association
for Community Networking; Texas Office of Rural Community Affairs; Texas
Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Board; University of Texas Telecommunications
& Information Policy Institute.
