This is a critical time for owners and users of cultural content. Issues surrounding creative industries, technology and new media together with discussions about Intellectual Property Rights are being played out at the highest political levels and the landscape has the potential to be reshaped dramatically. Cultural heritage organisations need to embrace these developments and position themselves to ensure that they are represented as a sector that provides cultural content, free at the point of access, whilst looking to the rights that they own themselves to develop models to sustain their core activities and achieve high levels of service to their commercial users. This conference will provide an exciting forum to simulate debate and discussion about these key areas with suppliers and users of cultural content set within one of the foremost collections of art in the world.
