On the 24th-25th January 2006, t4cd hosted a conference at the Microsoft Research Centre, Cambridge. Entitled the “Conservation & Appropriate Technology Conference & Workshop”, it brought together experts in conservation and technology development to cultivate innovative thinking and partnership between the two sectors. The event included profiles of existing success stories, such as CyberTracker, FrontlineSMS and Google Earth, high profile speakers from the conservation and technology fields, and dynamic interaction between delegates and panelists in plenary debates and break-out sessions.
