How will the digital age reshape our museums, art galleries, and heritage sites? Discover the future at the Collecting Tomorrow Symposium.

The Amelia Scott, Tunbridge Wells invites you to join a 2023 symposium exploring the role digital will play for Museums, Art Galleries and Heritage sites going forward.

The symposium, based on our new temporary exhibition Collection Tomorrow, will bring together the past and future to explore how museums are adapting to the digital age and harnessing technology to uncover untold stories, preserve our cultural heritage and engage with audiences in innovative ways.

The conference will give you the opportunity to engage with your local museums and hear a showcase of examples of how a Collection cannot only connect with new audiences digitally but can be used to reach and inspire new audiences. The day will offer a mixture of talks from leading professionals in the sector and practical workshops showcasing digital tools that can be used on a budget (and in some cases for free!). There will also be the opportunity to explore the new exhibition, and network through facilitated discussions.

Hosted at The Amelia Scott, a ground-breaking new cultural and community space opened 28th April 2022. It combines a range of culture venues – a Museum, art gallery, and library – with Tourist Information Centre, Adult Education and frontline Council Services all in one brand new building.

This Symposium is suitable for museum, heritage and arts professionals, people working in equality & diversity practice in the cultural sector, volunteers, trustees, students, artists, freelancers and educators.
More information on speakers will be published shortly.

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Book your spot now and be a part of the future!
