The Digital Economy Bill (DEB) is currently working its way through the House of Lords. It is a legislative response to the Digital Britain report, which was published on 16 June 2009. Intended to support and protect the development of the country's digital economy, some of the proposed measures have far-reaching consequences for individuals, businesses, public services and government process.
At the Digital Economy Unconference & Workshops, you can find out about how and why this legislation will affect you, your business or household, and what you can do to make sure your voice heard.
Tickets are available for any of the following parts of the event. We encourage you to attend one of the workshops even if you can't make it to the unconference.
