Brainstorm on broadband: TUANZ National Broadband Applications Project

September 2002

The search is on for innovative and inspirational ways to make the most of high-speed Internet.

Government, health and education are among 10 sectors being put under the microscope at the visionary National Broadband Applications Project — a three-day brainstorm on broadband being organised by TUANZ (the Telecommunications Users Association of New Zealand) and starting on Sunday 3 November in Nelson.

Broadband has been identified as a key enabler of New Zealand’s economic and social growth; this pioneering event will establish how can it be used to best serve the New Zealand economy. Afterwards a book will be published to showcase ideas.

TUANZ Chairman Judith Speight said: “This initiative will provide the impetus to drive us as a country to think creatively and passionately about applications in the new economy; to develop innovative applications of high-speed Internet to regional and national competitive advantage; to come up with the advances that are really going to change the way we live our lives and the way we do our business.”

The conference has a limited number of spaces available and applications are now being invited to be a part this milestone event. To register your expression of interest visit the TUANZ website, www.tuanz.org.nz.
