A panel made up of Hannah Rudman, AmbITion director, Alex Fleetwood from Hide and Seek Festival, Dave Moutrey from Cornerhouse and Bill Thompson from Writers’ Centre Norwich now take questions from the floor about the day so far.
Q: If “3% of the world is connected to broadband” as in Hannah’s presentation are we in danger of creating a digital elite?
A: Mobile connectivity becoming more prevalent. Netbooks and other small computers allow more mobile internet access.
Though in the UK many have access to broadband, mobile internet access is a way of bridging the digital divide.

“Find out what you’re good at.” – Litfest.
“Think access.” – As reminded several times by DaDa.
You need to put your voice out there as there are others out there talking about you. If you don’t then you won’t be part of the conversation.

Questions from the floor and ‘burning issues’ from the AmbITion organisations:
Chris Gribble from Writers’ Centre Norwich: implementation process has ramifications over next 6-12 months. People are having the same issues, for example in their sector, there is a real resistance to technology and sharing content.
This is something that is also passed round the network of agents and publishers.
There is a real divide between commercial sector driving progress and artistic practice funders driving development. There is an area of unease between commercial sector and funding partners.
After the workshops, the AmbITion Approach was presented by project director, Hannah Rudman and the day ended with a plenary session featuring a question and answer session with the workshop presenters.

Alison Clark-Jenkins, Director, Arts & Development, from the Arts Council now talking about the Arts Council’s Digital Opportunity.
Four (?) key strands to the Arts Council’s plans:
1. Research, learning and policy
2. Building digital capacity – skills and development, network and partnerships, technology and infrastructure, innovation and artistic practice. “Programme is really about creating innovative art that really engages with people. 85% own mobile phone, 1 in 4 never switch it off.”
AmbITion is a change programme for the arts and cultural sector – helping organisations achieve their 21st century sustainability ambitions through implementing integrated IT and digital developments.
