in person at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre in Nova Scotia, 
Canada this June 4-6.

About the ICS

The ICS is a community-led forum dedicated to fostering collaboration 
for the achievement of digital equity in Indigenous communities. Since 
its inception, the ICS has evolved into the primary convening event 
focused on digital equity for Indigenous leadership, community members, 
researchers, and stakeholders, providing a platform for 
solutions-focused discussions.


Pre-Summit Training

To ensure all delegates can fully participate in the discussions, we 
hold two virtual six-week training programs in the lead-up to the event: 
one on connectivity policy, and the other on the technical operations of 
a community network. Register now to have the training details delivered 
right to your email inbox, and watch the summit homepage for further 
information!

Youth Scholarships

Each year, we provide funding to support at least 10 youth to attend 
ICS. To apply, please fill out the ICS 2024 Registration Form and 
indicate that you would like to apply for the Indigenous Youth Travel 
Scholarship. If there is an Indigenous young person aged 18-35 you 
believe should benefit from this scholarship, you are highly encouraged 
to nominate them by emailing [e-mail]. Please be sure 
to include the youth’s contact information.

Your early commitment to this event is hugely appreciated, and we look 
forward to your participation in shaping the discourse on digital equity 
for Indigenous communities. For any inquiries or additional information, 
please feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail].


Warmly,
