logo conferentie Digital strategies for heritageInho

Digital Strategies for Heritage (DISH) is de tweejaarlijkse internationale conferentie over digitaal erfgoed en digitale strategieën voor erfgoedinstellingen. Deelnemers worden op 7 en 8 december verwacht in Rotterdam. Dit jaar is het centrale thema 'Money and Power'.

The elephant in the room

Triggered by changes in society, heritage organisations face many challenges and need to make strategic decisions about their activities and services. The key aims of the conference are inspiration, knowledge, skills, innovation and networking.

In the cultural heritage sector we tend to ignore the elephant in the room. In a networked digital world where information is controlled more and more by private companies and – in the end – everything comes down to money and power, it is high time to pay attention to the role the cultural heritage sector plays in this power play.

We should ask ourselves: what power do we own (content, beauty, proof, supporters, etc.), what are we worth (how do we really value our digital collections, can you even assess that value?) and how do we stand our ground?

And at the same time: how, and in what way, can we escape from this fait accomplit, this tiresome fact of life? Because as the cultural heritage sector we can show another side than money and power alone. We mention sharing, beauty, idealism, trust,  hope, belief and love (and we may even blush). Or to put it in a more professional tone of voice: we should invest in a strong digital public domain, sharing our digital assets as much as possible and in this way let our immaterial values flourish.

 

The conference consists of four tracks:

 

  • Track 1: Lose your modesty!
  • Track 2: Stand up for yourself!
  • Track 3: Lose control, gain influence!
  • Track 4: Power to the People!
