For 2009 we have 2 instances of Digital Futures, one in Sydney,
Australia and another in London, UK.
Led by experts of international renown, Digital Futures focuses on the
creation, delivery and preservation of digital resources from cultural
and memory institutions. Lasting five days, Digital Futures is aimed at
managers and other practitioners from the library, museum, heritage and
cultural sectors looking to understand the strategic and management
issues of developing digital resources from digitisation to delivery.
Digital Futures will cover the following core areas:
o Planning and management
o Fund raising
o Understanding the audience
o Metadata - introduction and implementation
o Copyright and intellectual property
o Sustainability
o Financial issues
o Visual and image based resource creation and delivery
o Implementing digital resources
o Digital preservation
There will be visits to 2 institutions to see behind the scenes and
receive expert presentations. For Digital Futures London this will be
the National Gallery and the National Archives.
Digital Futures aims for no more than 25-30 delegates and every delegate
will have the opportunity to also spend one-to-one time with a Digital
Futures leader to discuss issues specific to them.
Digital Futures will issue a certificate of achievement to each delegate.
The Digital Futures leaders are:
* Simon Tanner - Director of King's Digital Consultancy Services, King's
College London

The leaders have over 30 years of experience in the digital realm
between them. Other experts will be invited to speak in their areas of
expertise.
