We will try to answer the following questions:
What is Web 2.0?
The phrase Web 2.0 is being increasingly used, but often with little understanding of what it means. Web 2.0 offers genuine interactivity. It's a two-way process that enables us to build communities, engage in dialogue and enrich experiences. This can include websites, YouTube, MySpace, Second Life, Facebook, mobile technologies among many others. This is not about grafting a token 'digital' strand to our activity, it's about changing the way we do things, as our audiences are. The good news is it doesn't need to be difficult, or expensive.
Who?
A representative (Board Level or Senior Management) from each Arts Council regularly funded organisations should attend this opportunity to get thinking, get immersed and get participating with digital opportunities.
When?
19 June 2009
How much will it cost?
The event is free to the Arts Council’s regularly funded organisations.
Where?
Broadway, 14-18 Broad Street, Hockley, Nottingham, NG1 3AL.
