UKMW11: The innovative museum: creating a brighter future
The annual UKMW conferences, convened by the Museums Computer Group,
have long been the place for high quality presentations and
discussions on the matters that are shaping museums online today. As
the UK heritage sector continues to live through difficult times, this
year's conference is an opportunity to reflect on the new landscape
museums are now in, learn from inspiring speakers and network with
your peers.
As the MCG's Spring Meeting in Brighton showed, a renewed emphasis on
partnerships inside and outside the sector will continue to challenge
museums to be more flexible in their working practices. Sharing the
stories of our successes and learning to discuss failures
constructively is more important than ever before.
The conference will frame solutions for the issues affecting the
museum sector, and feature positive case studies with actionable
lessons. We've got an exciting keynote speaker lined up for you, and
the conference will also include inspiring and practical sessions on
getting projects right from the start, redefining success and
designing for the future.
By remaining in touch with the leading edge of research, the politics
of policy, as well as the day-to-day realities of professional work,
UKMW continues to appeal to practitioners and academics, technologists
and curators, policy makers and the commercial sector – with over 100
delegates from across the sector attending each year. And the event
has built a reputation for the calibre of its speakers, the
affordability and accessibility of its content, as well as the focus
of its debate.
