Hi All,
Just wanted to send around a reminder about an interesting conference we have coming up here in Oxford on July 22.
In Gallery Engagement: Digital vs Analogue, 22 July, 10am-4.30pm, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, delegate fee £50.
We've got talks giving some great examples of ways we create engaging experiences for visitors within our museum spaces, looking primarily at new digital initiatives, but also some key 'analogue' activities. We're hoping to think about what is unique about digital interactives and what makes for a successful engagement with the collections through digital tools.
A full list of speakers is available on our website and includes a number of Oxford colleagues as well as colleagues from Historic Royal Palaces, Royal College of Art, Derby Museums, Royal Collections Trust, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the National Maritime Museum.

Also, the event coincides with the annual Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School, and The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities keynote that lecture that evening (which is free). This year the speaker will be Michael Docherty, Director of Cancer Research UK. He will be talking about new digital initiatives like the #nomakeupselfie meme that raised £8m in a few days.
Why not come and join us for a full digital day here in Oxford!
