The call for proposals for the annual Museums Computer Group Conference ‘Museums+Tech 2018’ closes this Friday (1 June) at 23:59. So there is still time to submit a proposal!

Further information about this year's topic, The Collaborative Museum, and how to submit your proposals can be found below and on our website.

Our 2018 conference is asking whether digital in museums can open up our institutions to collaboration and democratisation. How can a collaborative and participatory approach to projects invite new audiences, bring higher quality content, and provide museums with important learning experiences? Can museums and technology help to create a progressively universalised museum with better access and broader audiences? Can it be the catalyst for active as opposed to passive participants?

MCG’s Museums+Tech 2018 conference seeks proposals for presentations addressing these issues. It’s time to celebrate good work, and share ideas for helping museums do better. We’re open to suggestions, but we’ve highlighted some potential topics on our website:

Please do share this email with any colleagues who you believe may be interested in speaking at the conference.

Best wishes,

Alec Ward (MCG Committee)
