After a two year hiatus, TLC's annual conference is back!

Please mark your calendars for Thursday October 6th, 2022 for our one-day annual conference hosted by Temple University This is Our Moment: Moving the Needle on Digital Equity.

Timed to coincide with National Digital Inclusion Week, the conference will feature guest speakers, breakout sessions, and more. In the wake of the increased focus on digital inclusion brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and with historic federal investments in digital equity approved under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), including the $2.75 billion Digital Equity Act, now is the time for organizations across Philadelphia to come together to connect, learn, and share.

Register now to attend in person! The conference will also be live streamed.
