The 7th Annual National Digital Forum Conference
Date: 27/11/2008 - 28/11/2008
The 7th annual National Digital Forum conference will be held in Auckland for the first time on November 27-28, 2008 at the Owen G Glenn Building, the University of Auckland Business School.
The National Digital Forum (NDF) is a coalition of museums, archives, art galleries, libraries and government departments with more than 120 member organisations committed to collectively building New Zealand’s culture and heritage online.
This year’s conference theme is Creating value in a digital New Zealand. The conference’s proceedings will assist in defining the role New Zealand’s digital content providers have in making New Zealand stories and images easily accessible here and around the globe, so creating value for users of digital content from communities, education, and business. The theme allows us to consider some key questions: Why are we putting all this effort into digitisation? How are we doing it? How are we connecting with other institutions? What are we learning ourselves and ultimately, who benefits and in what way?
Last year’s annual NDF conference was the largest ever, attracting over 350 participants. We expect this year’s attendance to equal or better this. Responding to calls for more interaction, this year’s conference will have a stimulating mix of international keynote speakers, forums, workshops, and demonstrations.
