Mobile Interpretation conference at Tate Modern

Thu, 2008-08-14 16:03 — NancyProctor

From Audiotours to iPhones

Thursday 4 September, Workshop (by invitation), 10.00-18.00,  East Room Tate Modern
Friday 5 September 2008, Public Conference, 10.00-18.00,  Starr Auditorium Tate Modern

Are museums ready to play in the digital age? Rapid advances in technology are making the traditional audiotour increasingly redundant, and visitors are now offered sophisticated multimedia tours on PDAs, iPods and even mobile phones.
This symposium is for museum workers who want to know more about how the new generation of mobile devices can benefit their institutions. International museum professionals with in-depth experience in handheld program design, development and evaluation lead the day’s discussions.
