We're very excited to announce an upcoming online conference.  You're
invited.  To find out who's coming, and to sign up for further announcements
please visit the CivicNet '02 website and register today! Registration
includes a CD-ROM of the full CivicNet '02 proceedings, as well as a copy of
the upcoming edition of the Community Technology Review

** CivicNet '02: Connecting the Dots **
    Build Local Power With Community Networks
    September 18-October 2, 2002
    http://www.civicnet02.net/

CivicNet '02 takes place for two weeks, world-wide, bringing together global
networks of people, resources, and practices that put information and
communication technology (ICT) to work to sustain economic development,
enhance quality of community life and engage stakeholders in decisions that
matter.

Who will attend?  Community network, community technology and community
economic development practitioners, journalists, public officials, artists,
tool-builders, teachers, students, entrepreneurs, consultants, researchers,
funders, librarians, investors, and enthusiasts who regard themselves as
front-line innovators and catalysts. Does this sound like you?

Why Now?  Few can hope to attend all of the major upcoming conferences where
these issues will be explored; indeed several key upcoming conferences will
take place at the same time in October and in different countries
simultaneously.

"We Create the Process - You Create the Content!"

We're celebrating the 5 year anniversary of the first Virtual CivicNet
Conference held in 1997, with a new program this year. Three roundtable
themes form the backbone of CivicNet '02, out of which new roundtable
discussions will be invented by participants during the two week forum
(Sept. 18 - Oct. 2). Do you have a theme in mind that should become part of
CivicNet '02?

Launching event will be three roundtables of distinguished guests who will
tackle three key themes:

*     The Global/Local Dynamic of Community Networking
*     The New Community Technologies of Freedom
*     Best Practices for Stakeholder Engagement

CivicNet '02 kicks off September 18th and will offer round the clock access
through October 2nd.  Registration is $35 ($25 early bird special if you
pre-register before 9/1) and includes a CD-ROM of the full CivicNet '02
proceedings, as well as a copy of the upcoming edition of the Community
Technology Review.  Join us in a unique opportunity to tell stories about
your community experience and connect with other community networkers from
all around the world.

For more information and for your early registration discount, please visit

All best,

Richard Civille (rciville@civicnet.org)
