Forty North East councillors and twenty officers, representing eighteen local authorities, gathered at the Stadium of Light to attend the Included Communities event. This was the second event in the three-part Community Leadership and eDemocracy series.

The event featured thought-provoking presentations on how new technologies can be used to enhance engagement in local communities and showcased regional and national examples of successful online community forums.

Some feedback from attendees:

• "Well worth the time, networking most important"
• "It was a day during which I learned a great deal about future IT developments. Some of the developments were new to me so I am determined to seek information when I return to my office"
