24.02.2022: Online Session: How museums bring digital to life.

The accelerated pace of digitalisation, digital strategies, digital divide, digital fatigue - we all talk digital and do digital, but what can it do for the museum sector and what is at stake? 

Let’s meet to talk about how museums bring digital to life, and how to avoid it being yet another annoying and over-exploited buzz word. 

The online session brought together by Vienna Business Agency and MUSEUM BOOSTER invites you to look into the results of a study on Vienna-based museums in matters pertaining to digital. Join a conversation and inspiration session with digital innovation experts Diego Cenzano (Guggenheim Bilbao Museum) and Dan Koerner from Melbourne-based creative agency and technology company Sandpit. 

Take a chance and join an exciting and playful online session in company with museum professionals, creative producers and creative techs.

The session will take place during the CIVA Festival and will include:
