DIGITAL STRATEGIES FOR HERITAGE (DISH2009)
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE,
ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 8-10 DECEMBER 2009

What is DISH2009?
Digital Strategies for Heritage (DISH) is a new bi-annual
international conference on digital heritage and the opportunities it
offers to cultural organisations. Triggered by changes in society,
heritage organisations face many challenges and need to make
strategic decisions about their services. DISH2009 aims at sharing
knowledge about and experiences with digital strategies. What roles
do cultural heritage institutions have in a networked society?
What is the impact of digitisation on these organisations? Why are
certain digital services more successful than others? Which business
models are suited to the cultural heritage sector? Why would
archives, museums and libraries co-operate? These are some of the
questions that will be addressed in keynotes, presentations, debates
and workshops.

Who benefits from DISH2009?
The conference will be for all staff of cultural heritage
institutions that are responsible for policy issues and/or management
of digital collections and services. The conference will enable
participants to learn more about strategic decisions on all aspects
of digital heritage services.

How can you contribute?
The Programme Committee seeks contributions from professionals in
archives, museums, libraries and other heritage institutions and from
researchers or innovators outside the heritage field. The
contribution can be a paper presentation (max. 25 minutes) or a
