A co-founder of the international Intelligent Communities Forum is coming to Whanganui this month to tell us how to take advantage of our Top 7 status.
He is John Jung and his presentation takes place on April 26, at the Whanganui War Memorial Centre.
Whanganui was named in the Top 7 Intelligent Communities worldwide in February, the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.
There were 145 communities vying for that status, which is decided mainly by their answers to a detailed questionnaire.
The Top 7 are invited to a summit in Ohio in the United States in June, where the Intelligent Community of the Year will be chosen.
