The Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet) is a national,
non-profit membership organization of more than 1,000 independent
community technology centers where people receive free or low-cost access
to information technology, together with learning opportunities that
encourage exploration and discovery. The CTCNet National Conference is an
annual gathering of our members, leaders in the field, and others
interested in creating equitable participation in information technology.
It seeks to expand and further community technology by promoting the
development of participants individually, regionally, and collectively as
a movement. This conference is repeatedly cited by our members as one of
the most important services we offer.
