NetHui 2011 looks to shape digital future

The theme for this year's NetHui is 'shaping the future together', with which the organisers hope to focus discussion on broader issues of cybercitizenship, governance, openness and education - among others.

Currently scheduled sessions include discussions surrounding the legal implications of cloud computing, the future of copyright, combating cyberbullying and the internet as a revolutionary tool.

According to its website, organisers InternetNZ intend the hui to be a platform "for all those involved with the Internet in New Zealand to involve their communities. InternetNZ will act as a nucleus, with a variety of interested people and organisations planning and running individual discussion areas."

Two days of the event will consist of community discussions and issue-specific workshops, with panel discussions on the final day.

NetHui 2011 is slated for 29 June - 1 July this year, at the SkyCity Convention Centre.
