Digital technologies and ways of working are rapidly impacting on audience behaviour and expectations, the nature of our collections, as well as how we fulfil our missions. These areas will be explored throughout the forum through a mix of digital interactions and more formal presentations as well as group discussions. Up to date research will be presented as well as an array of case studies; from enhancing visitor experience and engagement, digitising collections and making them available online, to managing efficient and sustainable organisations. Discussions throughout the day with peers from across the UK and Ireland will help provide insight into how we can better harness the potential of digital in the museum sector.
