Hi,

I have just joined this forum so I want to apologise in advance for perhaps
covering a topic that could also be found in the archives. 

I run sounddelivery a social media production and training company working
with charities, museum and heritage sites and the not-for-profit sector.  
In January sounddelivery organised the Social Media Exchange
www.socialmediaexchange.org.uk a social media training event attended by
over 150 people from the charitable sector.   We are now organising a
similar kind of event for staff who work in these areas.  This will be
taking place in London on June 1st.  The event is a mixture of masterclass
sessions, practical surgery sessions and a debate. 

We've already lined up some great masterclass speakers but there are a
couple of areas that need covering.  I'm looking for dynamic speakers who
are using social media in really innovative ways in their organisations –
and not just the usual suspects.  The event is peer-led so we're really
looking for people working in museum and heritage sites who can give a warts
and all overview of how they are using social media in certain areas.  There
might be people you have come across who you particularly admire/respect -
or specific museums who are being particularly imaginative.   

The masterclasses are 40 minutes in length  

These are the areas we're particularly interested in looking at:

•     The Power of Video - from reviews/to postings/how museums are
harnessing video

•     Getting Savvy with Social Networks - any organisation or museum being
particular innovative with social networks or someone with an overview of
how different organisations are harnessing social networks 

•	Building up a Social Media presence from scratch (on a budget) -
particularly looking for a small to medium size organisation.   

•	Digitising Collections  

•	Digital Storytelling 

•	Using Social Media To Tackle The Learning Agenda  


- I've got a twitter expert for a surgery session but it would be great to
hear from someone who is using Twitter in a museum or heritage context and
can perhaps do a show and tell session on twitter. 

If any of you have come across advertising agencies who are working with
museums in a creative way that would be interesting for another part of the
day. 

If you want any further information about the evnet - do get in touch -
we're sending out detailed information next week. 

Thanks very much for you help.
