Europe
Digital Agenda Assembly: a (b)log book
On June 21-22 the European Commission opened the doors to stakeholders to discuss all the relevant issues for the Digital Agenda review. I was lucky enough to sit in both the Plenary and the Converged Media Platforms workshop. Here's my log book of the event.
- It all started here, in March this year. A very challenging and exciting project to get stakeholders online to openly discuss the Digital Agenda for Europe and how it can be improved. Check out what people had to say about the Converged Media Platforms strategy.
