What is it?
Digital Day is a day of fun with digital in Dublin City.
It is designed to demonstrate to Dubliners the impact that technology has on their lives and the potential of modern digital technologies. It is designed to encourage innovation and creativity in the ways in which we envisage harnessing technology in the city. It is an Innovation Dublin Day.
However it is not a standalone one day event. Rather it is part of a series of activities belonging to a RoadMap to a Digital Dublin that will lead to the publishing of a first ever Digital Masterplan for the Dublin City region in June 2013.
This Digital Masterplan itself is only the beginning of a relentless effort to ensure the city becomes and remains at the top tier of Digital Cities worldwide. Achieving this goal will ensure much increased economic prosperity for the Dublin City region and guarantee a greater quality of living for residents of Dublin.
Digital Day will have it’s basecamp at the home of the First Citizen of the City, the Lord Mayor.
A ‘pop up’ event space will be created on the forecourt of the Mansion House, Dawson street, Dublin 2. Along with much activity onsite, other activities will take place in the city centre at public WiFi locations, on mobile ‘Digital’ Buses and in many Dublin City businesses throughout the city.
All businesses are being invited to display the Digital Dublin logo and promote their openness for digital in the city. The message is “open to digital” and any business with a digital interface or technological tools is asked to adopt this message.
Activities planned for Mansion House basecamp include:
Free Public WiFi in local area
Coder Dojo involving local schoolchildren with James Whelton.
Apps for Fingal’ display and Dublinked showcasing the use of Open data
