[Rob McMahon]

Hello everyone,


The third annual Indigenous Connectivity Summit
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/indigenous-connectivity-summit/2019/>
(ICS)
will be held on Nov 12-13. For those unable to join in person, an event
*livestream* will be available; visit the ICS website
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/indigenous-connectivity-summit/2019/>
for
information on how to connect.


Including Indigenous voices in the decisions and solutions that shape the
Internet is a vital part of closing the global digital divide. Each year,
the community-led Indigenous Connectivity Summit brings together Indigenous
leaders, community members, community network operators, Internet service
providers, researchers and policy makers with a common goal: connecting
Indigenous communities to fast, affordable and sustainable Internet.

The 2019 Indigenous Connectivity Summit will host a two-day conference that
focuses on building partnerships, advocating regulatory changes, and
sharing success stories of community networks throughout Canada and the
United States.
