Conference overview:

 

Many cultural and heritage organisations have benefited from substantial national funding for digitisation projects.  As projects draw to a close, they face a common problem: sustainability.

 

To reflect the importance of this problem, we have brought together a team of eminent speakers.  They will address the key issue of how to attain sustainability of digitisation and similar projects.

 

The conference provides an opportunity to:

·        review the financial and technical problems of sustainability;

·        share experiences and solutions with major organisations at regional, national and international levels;

·        identify areas of potential income;

·        network with those experiencing the same issues.

 

Who should attend:

The conference will be relevant to all in receipt of, or bidding for, project funding; managers of cultural and heritage organisations; project managers; project leaders; technical staff and fund raisers.

 

Early booking is recommended as a high level of interest is anticipated.
