This past week, Wolde North and Maliki LaForce attended Net Inclusion 2026 in Chicago, hosted by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA). Over the course of the event, digital equity leaders and advocates from across the country gathered to discuss strategies for digital inclusion success.
The conference offered a stage for professionals from the nonprofit, for profit, and government sectors to discuss current issues and exchange information on the challenges and triumphs of the last year. This provided the team with vital perspectives on expanding broadband access, improving digital literacy, and ensuring device access. We are coming away with fresh insights and a clear look at the future of digital inclusion in not just Vermont, but the entire country.
A huge thank you to the NDIA for hosting such an impactful event and for the incredible work they do to foster community around bridging the digital divide!
