This year's Blandin Broadband Conference spotlighted communities across Minnesota that are Cultivating a Culture of Use through ARRA broadband funding. Their goal is ambitious - to create technologically and economically vital rural communities, competing and thriving in the broadband economy, with sustainable broadband adoption, job growth and wealth creation.
Experts, researchers, students and folks in the field who are creating programs to help boost broadband use in their communities participated in the conference. Attendees asked questions, told their stories, and followed up on the work of the Minnesota Ultra High-Speed Broadband Taskforce to answer the question, "Where are we now - one year later?"
Reports, news releases, video and photos from the conference are posted below.
