The Festival features two keynote speakers. Other exciting activities include a hands-on computer lab to explore the Internet, continuous demonstrations, a children's activity center with games, magicians and movies, and door prizes to be given away throughout the day. Vendors will introduce attendees to Internet products and services, and exhibitors will display locally meaningful information. For example, business owners can learn how to link to FortNet's popular site at no charge and attendees can provide input on what type of information they would like to obtain from the City of Fort Collins web site. Lunch and refreshments will be available for purchase.
Admission is free, and attendees can drop in for all or part of the day.
Interest in telecommunications is very high. The Community Internet Festival is designed to help expand awareness about the opportunities available on the Internet and at FortNet. Currently, over 30,000 area residents get on the Internet at home, school and work. More than 800 people are expected to attend the second annual Community Internet Festival.
