As ever at the conference there’s an interesting line up of speakers, including Tom Loosemore of Ofcom, George Oates from Flickr and Paul Marty, a regular speaker at the popular MCN conferences in the US.
“Our intention, every year, is to bring in people from outside our sector, outside our geographical area, and even outside our comfort zone, professionally speaking,” said Jon Pratty, co-convenor of the conference with Ross Parry of the University of Leicester.
“But having said that, we’re – of course – going to be bringing out into the conference space some of the fascinating threads that the MCG news list regularly explores online,” said Jon.
Fertile MCG list strands about the European Digital Library and the future shape of online collections will be explored; as will the fascinating recent Ofcom report that commented upon the state of the public service digital broadcasting space.
As ever, the conference will be followed up online on the MCG website. If anyone at the conference is blogging events, or taking pictures, there’s a handy tag you can attach to your posts and via Flickr – just make sure you add ‘UKMW 08’ as a tag.
