New Media: Reaching wider audiences and improving the visitor experience
The 7th International Communicating the Museum Conference
Madrid, Spain
4 - 7 July 2007
The 7th edition of Communicating the Museum - the leading international networking conference for communications professionals - is to be held in Madrid from 4 to 7 July 2007 under the chairmanship of Will Gompertz, Tate's Director of Tate Media.
Focusing on the ever more important role that innovation plays in museums' communications strategies, "New Media New Audiences: How to reach wider audiences and improve the visitor experience" is this year's main theme of this unique networking forum. During two days, Communicating the Museum will take place at the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, and at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, the three leading institutions in Madrid, partners of the conference.
Keynotes speeches, panel debates, case studies, business workshops as well as private guided tours and a Gala Dinner will give participants the opportunity to encounter leading world experts as well as colleagues in order to listen, learn, exchange and network.
This year, a special delegation of Chinese museums from Beijing, Shangaï and Taïwan will bring to the conference a special insight into the current trends in Asia. Also, for the very first time, a Prize for the "Best Media Initiative" will be awarded during the Gala Dinner at the Retiro Park.
The Communicating the Museum conference aims to bring together arts and museum communications professionals from Europe and beyond. It has become a unique networking forum where counterparts from press, marketing, and public relations departments of different cultural institutions can meet, discuss and exchange ideas and experiences around a specific theme. The conference is organised by Agenda and is the brainchild of Corinne Estrada, Director of Agenda and Damien Whitmore, Director of Public Affairs at the V&A Museum. In 2006, the conference was held in Rotterdam, with more than 250 participants attending from 20 countries.
Simultaneous translation in English / Spanish for all keynote speeches
There will be an opportunity for questions after each keynote presentation.
