Hi Mike,
We run, at the Collections Trust, a conference called OpenCulture (26th-27th June), although the conference is focused on collections management, there is a big emphasis on the role of 'digital' within this, so it might be something you would be interested in? Speakers include Steve Crossan, from Google, Bill Thompson, Technology Writer and BBC Online columnist; and Alan Payne, Director at Deep Visuals and former Research Director at Kodak European Research.
You can find out some more information about the conference below:

Best,
Katie

Subject: What are the best conferences for people like us?
Hey all
Which are the most valuable / most useful conferences and meetups for people doing digital in the cultural heritage sector? There are the obvious ones like MCG / MuseumNext -- but I'd like to hear about any smaller/cheaper/more local ones too..
Also - the MA is claiming they're going to "do more digital" in their conference programme this year - any thoughts on the value of this?
I'm just trying to tease out what's coming up / what's worth coming along to.
thanks in advance!
Mike
