Subject: [telecom-cities] Rural Telecon '06 Early Bird registration still available The Rural Telecon annual conference will be help in October (10/23 - 10/25) in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Rural Telecon meetings are practitioner oriented, with an intense focus on case studies, best practice, economic development, and rural health care, with a broad theme of using broadband technologies to improve communities. One topic this year will be on leveraging local higher education resources. It's a proven economic development strategy - use the developing expertise of a college/university's student population to create a regional economic engine while also offering these students a chance to gain valuable experience. In fact, an increasing number of American firms who have formerly gone overseas - outsourcing - are returning to insource with American firms, many located in rural areas. One of the leaders in this area is Kathy Brittain-White who will be one of the opening keynote presenters at Rural Telecon '06 in Little Rock. CNN has highlighted Kathy's valuable efforts and we'd like to encourage you to learn from her experience. But it's even better! We know who you can partner with to create your first "Insourcing" economic opportunity while also bolstering your regional healthcare system. At Rural Telecon '06 a focused effort will connect insourcing, Regional Health Information Organizations and broadband telecommunications as well as available funding sources to get the effort started. Join us at Rural Telecon '06 and return with at least THREE new economic strategies to bolster your institution as well as impact your regional economy. http://www.bringemback.us/files/rtc/index.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
