About the Conference. 

This hybrid conference is open to all people with a museum or technical background who are interested in digital tools in the cultural sector. Our focus is on museums and other parties working with reconstructions (for example replica ships or other constructions that are not permanently tied to a museum). We need digital solutions, partly to serve visitors, but also to help staff in managing collections, to streamline working methods and comply with current regulations (for example on digital archives of administration). 

Registration Fee

Fee includes conference material, coffee/tea, lunch, dinner, and bus transport from Lelystad to Swifterkamp on the third day.
