[ICTI-Announce] Public Sphere is coming to Wollongong - Friday 28th August, 2009

[James Dellow]

Through the lobbying of ICTI and support of the University of  
Wollongong, I'm pleased to announce that Wollongong will be hosting  
the next 'Public Sphere' event on Friday 28th August, 2009.

What is Public Sphere?

Public Sphere is an event sponsored by Senator for the ACT, Kate  
Lundy. She is passionate about technology and has embarked on a series  
of public consultation events that use technology - such as Webcasts,  
Twitter, live blogging, etc - to allow as many people to participate  
as possible, regardless of their location. The first two Public Sphere  
events, held in Canberra, focused on the potential of high speed  
broadband for Australia and 'Government 2.0'.

What is this Public Sphere all about?

The topic for the Wollongong Public Sphere will be the Australian ICT  
& Creative Industries Development.

The objective of this consultation is to identify areas where  
government policy can be developed or enhanced to better facilitate  
the growth and development of these industries in Australia. The day  
will have specific time and discussion allocated to the following  
industry segments:

Web 2.0 and mobile
Creative industries
Infrastructure and architecture

As well as extending an invitation to attend this Public Sphere, all  
members of the ICTI community in the region have the chance to  
participate directly in the outcomes of this Public Sphere by either  
volunteering to give a 10 minute talk or by contributing through the  
many other online mechanisms available.
