DESCRIPTION

Digital + Community: what works and how do I build a strategy around this? Working with community and digital experiences requires a lot of thinking through. You need to consider what the actual experience it is that you are trying to deliver and how your community can participate with you and your content. Using the latest technology is not enough, there needs to be a strategy behind why you are doing the initiative in the first place. This talk will discuss many digital experiences the Powerhouse Museum has conceived of and delivered utilising a strategy and different technologies and plaftorms behind each experience. Successes and some failures will be shared.
