museum4punkt0: Digital Conference on „Developing the Future Together“

21.10.2020

On 27 and 28 October 2020 the collaborative project “museum4punkt0” is holding an online conference on the experiences and challenges of using digital means to present and convey information in museums: “Developing the Future Together – Digitally Enhancing Museum Experiences and Processes”.

Since 2017 the collaborative project museum4punkt0 has been researching new digital means on how to best interact with visitors, develop individualised services for them and to appeal to additional target groups. The digital conference will present the results of this undertaking, answer questions raised by online audiences and discuss the following issues in lectures and roundtables:

  • How can museums profit from applications developed within the project and benefit from our experiences?
  • How have COVID-19 precautionary measures affected the development of digital means to present and convey information?
  • What additional steps must be taken in the museums along the path to digitality?

The conference takes place exclusively online and is available as a livestream on YouTube. Registration is required for digital participation, including the option to join chats:
