Conference Programme | Booking Form
Digital technology is revolutionising volunteering. It creates new ways of working, new ways of communicating with volunteers, and new ways of marketing. And that’s just the tip of the digital iceberg. And whether you're an expert with new technology or an absolute beginner, this conference has plenty to offer you.
Taking place on 26 & 27 September at the Richard Ley Centre, Swansea, the event aims to demonstrate how new technology can help attract and engage volunteers, address the issue of digital inclusion, provide guidance on social media and inspire you to further develop digital technology in your work.
Speakers at the conference include:
- Jane Hutt AM, Minister for Finance and Leader of the House, on the Welsh Government’s vision for digital inclusion
- Sangeet Bhullar of WISE KIDS/'Digital and People' on engaging effectively in the digital space
- Ann Stafford of IT4Communities on how to access a wide range of IT expertise for free
Several workshops will run each day, including:
- How new technology can support volunteer managers
- The impact of visual media
- Digital media and the Welsh language
- Involving older people in digital technology
- Developing a social media strategy
- Engaging volunteers with the web and social media
And there's much more besides, including the opportunity to contribute to proceedings yourself through your mobile phone, laptop or tablet.
