Innovative Programs and Offerings at the Show
At the 2024 Beaufort Delta Trade Show, the Inuvik Tech Society will highlight several key initiatives designed to meet the needs of the local community:
• Tech Recycling Program: Attendees are encouraged to bring old or unused electronic devices to donate to the Inuvik Tech Society’s Tech Recycling Program. The Society will be accepting these items at the booth, where they will be refurbished on-site and made available for purchase at a low cost, or distributed for free to those in need. This effort not only reduces electronic waste but also ensures that essential technology reaches more hands in the community.
• Live Device Refurbishing: As part of the Tech Recycling Program, the Society’s team will be refurbishing donated technology live at the event. This unique, interactive experience allows attendees to witness the process of giving old devices new life and underscores the importance of reducing e-waste while making technology accessible.
• Refurbished Devices for Sale: In addition to accepting donations, the Inuvik Tech Society will also have a range of refurbished devices available for sale at affordable prices. Attendees looking for budget-friendly tech solutions will find laptops, desktops, and other devices restored to excellent working condition.
• Tech Consultations and Expert Advice: Throughout the event, the Society’s team of experts will be offering free one-on-one tech consultations. Small business owners, community organizations, and individuals can benefit from personalized advice on how to integrate technology into their operations, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in today’s digital economy.
• Information on Digital Skills Training: As part of its commitment to improving digital literacy in the region, the Inuvik Tech Society will provide information on upcoming workshops and courses designed to help participants develop essential tech skills. These training opportunities range from basic computer skills to more advanced topics like cybersecurity, coding, and e-commerce strategies.
