3rd Annual Building Smart(er) Communities Symposium on October 23, 2019 in Eau Claire  New to Building Smart(er) Communities, WiscNet, or Community Area Networks? Yes or no, this is a great time to connect and learn more!
Building Smart(er) Communities is WiscNet’s approach of bringing together WiscNet members with their local leaders to learn and share about the collaborative work and collective knowledge that helps communities pave the way for the next generation of networks and Internet access.
This year’s focus brings together some state-wide agencies and WiscNet members to engage in the what, why, and how of sustainable community networks, building partnerships, and using available resources to help plan and address the challenges and opportunities that communities may not be able to achieve alone. The symposium will focus on three themes—Access for all, collaborative impact, and planning for disruption—and learn through the stories and expertise of those who are making a difference.
