Free event: Sebastian Chan on “New web technologies and museums”
Sydneysiders free around lunch time tomorrow should swing by the Powerhouse Museum and catch Sebastian Chan, who gave a much loved presentation at Web Directions South last year.
As part of the Talks After Noon series, Sebastian will be speaking on the future of museums online and looking at the different ways museums are engaging with social media, mobile technologies, collections and more. If you have any interest at all in how cultural institutions can think about engaging their audiences, and increasing access to their collections via the web, then don’t miss this, even if it’s not complete free as in beer (you have to buy a ticket to the museum, but hey, when was the last time you did yourself and the arts a favour by taking the afternoon off and visiting a museum?).
Oh, and, if you like what you hear, Sebastian is giving a full day workshop on Social Media and Government as part of Web Directions Government 08.
