Advancing Digital Equity

The Net Inclusion conference has been a staple in the digital inclusion community since 2016, bringing hundreds of practitioners, advocates, academics, internet service providers, and policymakers together to advance their professional development, share their knowledge, and discuss:

  • Local, state, Tribal, and federal policies impacting digital equity.
  • Digital inclusion best practices from across the country, including new sessions on AI and digital equity, rural and Tribal outreach, and securing funding for sustainability.
  • Digital inclusion programming, including the latest on digital navigators, digital health equity, accessibility, serving diverse populations, and community-centered work.
Join us in Chicago, IL, and be part of the movement to shape our digital future.
