Digital Divide and Digital Inclusion
IAMCR is pleased to launch a new initiative: the IAMCR Webinar Series. Led by the association’s vice president Andrea Medrado, the idea is to open-up channels for engagement and participation in addition to the annual conference. These include presentations, debates, book and project launches. The format is flexible, the connection is what matters. The series starts with a very timely debate on “Digital Divide and Digital Inclusion”, sponsored by the Digital Divide Working Group.
