AGENDA

We live and work in an increasingly digital world and high-quality access to Next Generation Broadband is vital for businesses and communities. It will unlock innovation, stimulate local economic growth, help create new jobs and open up new export markets.

In this rapidly growing digital world, Yorkshire needs the network infrastructure to make it easier to do more business and enhance quality of life. The key is to be well connected and then make those connections work for you.

This one-day NextGen Roadshow brings together suppliers, community stakeholders, SMEs, investors and expert advisors to explore and understand the opportunities to transform local broadband access networks and make them work in your community.

At this special 1-day event you will find out about:

• Superfast - what does it mean and what are the benefits?
• Vision and plans for York and north Yorkshire
• Broadband technology options - fibre, mobile, wireless, satellite
• Next Generation Broadband for rural areas
• Transformational tools for SMEs - social networking for business, e commerce and teleconferencing
• Cloud computing - what does it mean and how does it help business?
• Stimulating demand for Next Generation Broadband and finance options
• New apps and services - smart communities and advances in public sector services
• Next Generation networks in action - case studies and local developments
