They are using new information and communication technologies (ICTs) to help create social and economic change in areas as diverse as health, education, culture, and democratic engagement. But the benefits are not evenly distributed. "Digital divides" persist between urban and rural communities, First Nations and others. The 2005 Summit will bring together a powerful mix of community leaders, technology service providers, business, government, researchers, and non-profit organizations. The diverse program will reflect the local, regional, national, and international make up of the organizers, presenters, and delegates. It will also reflect the organizers commitment to provide delegates with tools that are readily applied to local community projects.
