A special conference to discuss Oxfordshire’s “digital future” will take place at Culham this weekend.

Euro MEP for the South-East Region James Elles will join Culture and Communication Secretary and Wantage MP Ed Vaizey at a conference on Saturday for the seminar, OxOnline 2010 — Connecting Oxfordshire, to be held at the Culham Conference Centre and organised by the Oxfordshire Economic Partnership (OEP).

Partnership chairman David Doughty said: “This is the first step in a campaign to make sure the county is hardwired into the nation’s digital future.

“There will be a series of events culminating in a formal strategy.”
