I Know Where I'm Going"- Remote Access to World Heritage Sites from St Kilda to Uluru Conference
Wednesday 23rd & Thursday 24th November 2011
Informatics Forum, 10 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AB (Scotland, UK)
Dear Colleague,
At a time of economic crisis and environmental threat, countries everywhere have to address the dual challenge of protecting and preserving their natural and cultural heritage while maximising their economic value.
We would like to invite you to this two-day international conference which will focus on the potential for new technologies to create high-quality, remote-access visitor experiences for World Heritage Sites and other sites of cultural, historical and natural significance where remote access is necessary.
The aims of this Conference are to showcase some of the new technologies available (3D/4D scanning, mobile technologies, GPS/GIS, satellite technologies, apps and social media) & discuss their applications; to debate policy issues linked to the benefits and challenges these new technologies present for sites preservation, conservation, and interpretation worldwide; and to encourage site managers worldwide to consider the benefits & impact the new technologies could have for their own sites as well as allow them to investigate those further.
You can view the full programme and register today to avoid disappointment on: http://iknowwhereimgoing.eventbrite.com/

We look forward to seeing you then, and please do feel free to circulate this invite!
