Conference Alert: Technology in Museums

From H-Museum:

TECHNOLOGY IN MUSEUMS: EMPOWERING THE VISITOR
National Academy Museum, 89th Street at 5th Avenue, New York City
19 October 2007

Keynote Speaker: Phil Reed, Director of the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, London

This essential day for museum and heritage professionals will bring together some of Europe's and North America's experts in using technology in all its forms. Speakers will show how to get the delicate balance right between technology and a curator's vision, to drive new audiences and build awareness of important but hard-to-reach collections, to show how museum professionals and their visitors can work together to generate content, all this while increasing productivity and bottom-line profits.


New York City's National Academy Museum, in Museum Mile in Manhattan will be
our base, and each day-long seminar will include eight speakers, lunch,
afternoon tea, and a wine reception. To further extend your opportunity for
networking, the final session of the afternoon will be a "surgery" where
each speaker will be available at a separate table to consult with delegates
about their own particular challenges and opportunities -- another chance to
get real, hands-on advice that you can take back to your own institutions.

Phil Reed
Director, Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, London

Douglas Hegley
Deputy Chief Technology Officer, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

The day long conference costs $395, with a discount of $100 for each

Extending Audience Reach." Delegates who register for both conferences can
