Now - perhaps more than ever - is a moment for the museum sector to look outwards and see the opportunities for collaboration.
At a time when the sector’s governance is being re-shaped, the funding landscape re-formed and individual services and institutions restructured, the drive for joint ventures and partnership have become more relevant than ever. In particular it is co-operation with the wider arts sector and with the commercial world that seem to demand attention and offer exciting possibilities for everyone.
Alert to this, Culture24 have brought together professionals from across the creative industries to reflect upon and share their experience of working digitally with cultural sector partners. Through a series of roundtable discussions, this day-long meeting will explore some of the evolving models for online collaboration and discuss the existing and perceived barriers and divisions between different sectors and the public/private worlds.
Those in conversation will include:
Andrew Nairne: Director for Arts Strategy, Arts Council
Laura Scott: EMEA External Relations, Google
Spencer Hyman: CEO & Founder www.artfinder.com
Andy Budd: Director of user experience at Clearleft http://clearleft.com/
Jane Finnis: Director Culture24
There will also be a special trip to Brighton's wonderfully unique Royal Pavilion and Museums site, with their new Digital Development Officer Kevin Bacon.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
