Photos from our DAISI Partnership Digital Equity Event at Abbeydale, 30th January 2025
On Thursday 30th January, our DAISI Digital Equity team held their first ever in-person cross-sector partnership event. About a hundred people from small, medium and large organisations and community projects gathered at Abbeydale Sports and Community Centre to share knowledge around digital topics, and make networking connections.
There were introductory talks presented by experts on Cyber Security, Demystifying Data, AI, and more, and there were stalls representing many local projects and organisations.
"The aim of the event was to support our DAISI partners, and upskill Gloucestershire towards being digitally-ready across all the sectors we work with," said GRCC's Digital Equity Manager Daniel Gale.
"We achieved a wide-reaching event, with everyone from district councils, growth hubs, Citizens Advice and Age UK in attendance. This combined with the knowledgeable speakers and stalls, meant there was something for everyone, no-matter where they were on their digital journey.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the event, seeing individuals learning and engrossed in the talks, seeing conversations that wouldn’t have happened otherwise, and seeing opportunities develop that will benefit communities across the county.
"We plan to do more events across the county, going into more depth on topics that our partners have told us they'd like us to focus on. This way we can help more Gloucestershire organisations become more digitally-ready, one click at a time."
