New Mexico TechWorks was a co-organizer and host of the Internet Society’s Indigenous Connectivity Summit,
held Nov. 6–9, 2017,
at Hotel Santa Fe, in Santa Fe, NM.
Over 150 registrants attended the free (live-streamed) program, from the far reaches of Arctic Canada and Alaska to the U.S. Southwest to Oaxaca to Argentina, plus Africa and beyond, gathering to shed light on digital divides and to explore issues and themes around community networking and sustainability, over four days of workshops,
panels, presentations, storytelling and open discussions.
The Indigenous Connectivity Summit was an initiative of the Internet Society (ISOC),
New Mexico TechWorks, the Internet Society New Mexico Chapter,
1st-Mile Institute, and the First Mile Connectivity Consortium.
The event was sponsored by Google, ARIN, ICANN, and REDINet.
