LOWCOUNTRY DIGITAL EQUITY COALITION
The LDEC seeks to coordinate and initiate collective digital inclusion activities that are guided by shared goals and proximate quantitative and qualitative community data.
At the heart of the SC Digital Access Summit 2025 is a commitment to bring connectivity to every South Carolinian. This summit isn’t just an event; it’s a call to action to close the digital divide and ensure every individual, family, and community has the opportunity to thrive in a digital world. Through meaningful discussions and strategic collaborations, we’ll work toward a future where everyone has access to the internet, digital skills training, and the devices they need.
The SC Digital Access Summit 2025 is open to all who are passionate about ensuring everyone in South Carolina has access to digital resources. Whether you’re a library or housing authority representative, a digital navigator, an internet service provider, or a government leader, this summit is designed for you.
Join us March 20, 2025 at the Lowcountry Conference Center to collaborate with professionals and organizations dedicated to closing the digital divide.

Digital Inclusion refers to the activities necessary to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, have access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Digital Inclusion must evolve as technology advances. Digital Inclusion requires intentional strategies and investments to reduce and eliminate historical, institutional and structural barriers to access and use technology.
Digital Equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy and economy. Digital Equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services.
