International Conferences: WebWise 2010 Conference “Imagining the Digital Future”

The University of Denver and the Denver Art Museum announce open registration for the 2010 WebWise Conference on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World which will take place in March 3-5, 2010, in Denver (USA, Colorado).

Each year, over 300 representatives of museums, libraries, archives, information and systems science, and other fields interested in the future of high-quality online content for inquiry and education attend the free conference.

Conference programs will address the successes and innovations of the past as well as the opportunities and challenges that can help drive museum and library sciences into the future.  Guided by the theme “Imagining the Digital Future,” the 2010 WebWise conference will focus on the future of collaborative digitization programs, the use of new technologies to more deeply engage audiences, and the training of a 21st century cultural heritage information workforce. Conference sessions will spotlight new tools and services to enhance the discovery and access to digital content and funding opportunities for digital media projects by federal agencies and foundations. In addition, demonstrations will highlight successful digital projects and programs in libraries, museums, and cultural heritage organizations funded through the National Leadership Grants provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
