The EUROCITIES Knowledge Society Forum is just one part of Birmingham’s “Hello Digital” Week taking place from 18-22 October. During this week, Birmingham will be taking an international lead in showcasing the region’s innovation and creativity through linked events that will be bringing together other leading digital cities across the globe to share their ideas, successes and visions for the future. The events will be attracting the broadest cross section of industries covering the public sector, government and business to open up the debate on the impact of digital technologies for the way we live, work and learn in the 21^st Century.

EUROCITIES Knowledge Society Forum members may be particularly interested in extending their visit to the city and also attending our public sector conference  “Beyond 2010:  Live SMART. Work SMART. Learn SMART” which will feature a range of international speakers.

So why not make the most of your visit to Birmingham and to take the opportunity of staying on an additional day (21 October) to meet and network with likeminded UK and international public service professionals? EUROCITIES partners have the option of attending “Beyond 2010” gala dinner and to join the second day of the Beyond 2010 conference on Thursday 21 October.  This will be available to EUROCITIES members at an exclusive discounted rate of £125 for KSF participants to attend the rest of the week. To attend the Gala Dinner alone, a rate of £45 has been agreed. Normal Prices are: £395 for Beyond 2010 Conference for the two days and £250 for the one day and £199 for Hello Business.
