Aidmatrix at the Telecentre Europe Annual Conference in Warsaw

Last week it was my honor to speak at and participate in a panel at the Telecentre Europe Annual Conference in Warsaw, Poland.  The Telecentre movement focuses on providing internet and other technology access to those who do not have that enablement mechanism to improve their lives.  Telecentres often build upon that work to provide value-added programs, such as IT Training, entrepreneur services and more to their communities.  I learned a great deal from attendees, ranging from field implementers to strategists working with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s efforts in Europe. Our partners at TechSoup disseminated the results of their Cloud Survey, which Aidmatrix helped distribute immediately after its release. Microsoft was a key sponsor of the conference, and their personnel showed their leadership in this sector, once again.  Through Telecentre Europe, Aidmatrix and our partners will gain access to a significant amount of resources that would not have been available without engaging with this highly leveraged organization.
