Online booking for the Spring Meeting will open soon but in the meantime here's the date and some provisional details for your diaries.
Speakers provisionally booked include Steph Mastoris of the National Waterfront Museum reflecting on running the Waterfront Museum, Nick Poole of the MDA who will present a session on Digital Preservation, Lesley-Anne Kerr of Cymal - Museums Archives and Libraries Wales and David Dawson of the Museum, Libraries and Archive Council (MLA) who will be presenting their view of the current issues facing the sector, Chris Owen of Amgueddfa Cymru who will describe the implementation of a bespoke bi-lingual content management system assisted by Graham Davies and Dafydd James who will and illustrate its use to support gallery installations and Rhagor the new website based on the collections. We hope Ross Parry of the University of Leicester and Jon Pratty of the 24hour Museum will host a session considering the future of MCG.
We are also inviting members and delegates who want to take part in our popular "databurst" sessions - short presentations of ten minutes on a topical subject - to submit proposals for contributions and finally there will be the usual opportunity to meet colleagues informally over dinner the evening before the conference.
We're delighted to be hosting the Spring Conference and look forward to seeing you in Swansea in April.
