<http://www.digitalconsultancy.net/mcg2007/>www.digitalconsultancy.net/mcg2007/
The Connecting Culture and Commerce Conference will bring an eclectic
international mix of decision makers from the museum, library,
archive and education communities together with those from the
creative industries, media, legal, commerce and other business sectors.
Speakers include:
Jon Snow, Channel Four News presenter, Trustee of the National
Gallery and Tate Liaison Trustee.
Alan Yentob, BBC's Creative Director, Director of Drama,
Entertainment and CBBC.

(More speakers to be announced on the website soon)
The speakers, together with an expert panel, will be discussing the
exciting challenges ahead to suppliers of cultural content who are
experimenting with innovative ways of opening wider public access to
their collections, balanced against the needs to protect rights,
emerging business and licensing models, technological change, the
legislative framework and the demands of the 21st Century. It will be
an opportunity to openly challenge misconceptions about roles and to
start discussing new working practices and partnerships.
Our Panellists include:
Christian Ahlert, Open Business and Creative Commons UK.
Catherine Draycott, Head, Medical Photographic Library, Wellcome
Library & Chair of BAPLA.
