Hi everyone,
Many of you will have heard of the fantastic work that Seb Chan has been
leading at the Powerhouse Museum in Australia. You may even have seen
him speak about it at the MCG conference in Leicester in 2007.
I am pleased to say that Seb is coming back again to the UK this
September to work with Culture24. While he is here, I have arranged for
him to run a one day workshop looking at how to make your collection
work for you online (or in other words "strategic social media for the
cultural sector").
The workshop is at the DANA centre in London on Monday 8th September and
is being coordinated in association with Collections Trust and NMSI.
You can find out more and book a place here:

This is a unique opportunity to find out about Powerhouse's pioneering
work first hand, the issues it has raised and how they have dealt with
those issues (with great results). After the workshop there will be a
chance to network over a few beers.
If anyone is interested in getting Seb to come into their organisation
to do a one-to-one troubleshooting session on their own use of
collections and the web, I am coordinating bookings. Please email me
directly.
Cheers Jane
