Messaging: The Unsung Hero of ICT4D

When you work in digital development, a branch of the broader technology industry, one (annoying) refrain that won't stop recurring is that interventions have to be sexy (someone has literally told me this before!). By this, they mean super high-tech, flashy, expensive, and/or unnecessarily complex. Yet, as we have seen with the clamor surrounding the re-release of the beloved Nokia 3310, keeping it simple has never been so sweet - or welcomed.

At our March Meetup, we intend to bring you five amazing speakers working in academia and civil society on simple yet effective messaging solutions in sectors as wide ranging as journalism, humanitarian response, governance, health, and education. We'll have guests from:

• Saferworld

• more onion

• On Our Radar

• Goldsmiths, University of London

• The Engine Room

Due to the low functionality possible with Meetup announcements, you can access all the details of our speakers by CLICKING HERE (http://www.panoplydigital.com/blog/march-london-meetup-messaging-as-the-unsung-hero-of-ict4d)!

We look forward to seeing you all. Light beverages and snacks will be made available. Bring on spring!

Sincerely,

Your ICT4D Meetup Organizers
