Subject: RE: Capturing the Public Value of Heritage

Well I would think that these people have a lot to do with heritage. Speakers and participants include the Chairman and Chief Executive of English Heritage, the Chair of the National Trust, both the Secretary of State and the Minister for Culture, Media and Sport (the department which is responsible for SAMs and listed buildings), the Chair of the Heritage Lottery Fund (and Kate Clark) and a Professor of Built Heritage.  All of whom are accountable (in one way or another) to the public.

 

And the conference is about 'public value of heritage' so representatives from focus group types, economists and think-tanks represent the 'public' and 'value' elements. Heritage (whatever that is) is not the sole preserve of heritage professionals!

 

Which seems to be to me what the conference is all about?

But lots of the speakers are powerful people - so worth keeping an eye on what they are saying.  For a more intellectually satisfying experience there's this conference on a similar theme in Feb

well worth a look at the programme, most of the speakers seen to have
little or nothing to do with heritage, and it cost >£200 to attend the
two day meeting!!
