Web2fordev 2007 conference: Front runners on the use of modern technology for (rural) development meet in Rome - Live the conference as if you were there!
25-27 September - ROME
During the Conference daily multimedia digests will be produced and put online to follow the outcomes of everyday presentations and discussions.
The Web2forDev conference kicked off yesterday with great enthusiasm. DayO was an appetizer where more than 70 participants (from all around the world) came to learn about tagging, vlogging or wikis.
The key words were creativity, participation and sharing.
Have a look for more details at the articles and multimedia material our Media team prepared.
