[Stronsaylimpet] Orkney Digital Forum Fri 27 Oct

[Limpet editor]

 From Liam McArthur:

As I noted in my email last month, Alastair Carmichael and I will be 
holding the latest Orkney Digital Forum at the end of this month (Friday 
27 October).

Further to this, I’m pleased to confirm that we will have the following 
speakers in attendance:

  * Openreach – Robert Thorburn, Partnership Director for Scotland and
    North of England
  * Scottish Government Digital Directorate – Duncan Nisbet, Stakeholder
    Director for Broadband Delivery
  * Virgin O2 – Paul Mullan, Regional Affairs Manager (North East,
    Scotland and Northern Ireland)
  * Orkney Islands Council – Shona Croy, Strategic Adviser (Renewables
    and Connectivity)

The event will run from 12-2pm in the St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall. 
Following each of the short presentations, which will cover the current 
status of the roll out of broadband and/or mobile phone coverage in the 
islands, there will be an opportunity to ask questions or make 
observations. Hopefully, there will also be time towards the end to 
address any further questions anyone might have.

As noted in my previous email, this event will be in-person only. I am 
very aware that this will limit accessibility to the event for some who 
are unable to attend in person, and I apologise for this. Alistair and I 
did investigate the option of a hybrid event but could find no way round 
the problems that arose when we attempted this last time. As those who 
were there (physically or virtually) will recall, the experience was not 
a positive one for anyone!

Needless to say, as in the past, please do let me know if you have any 
questions you would wish to submit in advance, which Alistair and I will 
make sure are raised at the meeting. Copies of any presentations will 
also be shared afterwards, as well as any specific actions arising from 
the discussion. Moreover, we have got agreement from Mr Thorburn and Mr 
Nisbett to take part in a subsequent online Forum event, and once we 
have a date identified Alistair and I will let you know.
