The Warwickshire based rural regeneration charity ruralnet|uk is embracing the latest Web 2.0 tools to ensure that their forthcoming national conference will create great discussions, generate nichier content and cover relevant topics. Using the social networking tool ‘Crowdvine’ ruralnet|uk will encourage delegates and those with an interest in all things rural to ‘meet’ and share ideas, practices and solutions before the event in Skipton a concept known as an ‘unconference’; knowing who will be at the event and where their interests lie saves precious time during the conference itself. The concept of the ‘unconference’ is where the attendees organise and create the content online. ruralnet|uk are using ‘Crowdvine’ to provide delegates with the opportunity to ‘meet’ one another before the 2-day conference in Skipton on 30 September.Rural interest groups will today get their chance to give feedback on the roll-out of the Scottish Government’s flagship rural development programme.
