Through a series of roundtable discussions, this day-long meeting will explore some of the evolving models for online collaboration and discuss the existing and perceived barriers and divisions between different sectors and the public/private worlds.     Those in conversation will include   Andrew Nairne: Executive Director, Arts, Arts Council England Gill Johnson: Director, Broadcasting & Digital, Arts Council England Laura Scott: EMEA External Relations, Google Spencer Hyman: CEO & Founder, Artfinder Andy Budd: Director of user experience, Clearleft Freya Murray, Senior Arts Executive, BSKYB Alyssa Bonic, Arts Manager, BSKYB Kevin Bacon, Digital Development Officer, The Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton & Hove Honor Harger, Director, Lighthouse Jane Finnis, Director, Culture24   There will also be a special lunchtime trip to Brighton's wonderfully unique Royal Pavilion and Museums site, with Kevin Bacon.   Lunch and refreshments will be provided.   Become an MCG member now (for FREE) and save 50% on registration for this meeting:  http://bit.ly/MCGjoin   Register for ‘Go Collaborate’: http://bit.ly/Go_collaborate   Latest details and programme for 'Go Collaborate': http://bit.ly/MCGevent   Find us on   Culture24 is an independent charity that publishes a family of websites including: www.culture24.org.uk www.show.me.uk www.icons.org.uk www.caboodle.org.uk Useful contacts Editor: Richard Moss ric...@culture24.org.uk 01273 623278 Ruth Harper is the main contact at Culture24 for DDE queries: ru...@culture24.org.uk 01273 623269 Unsubscribe ke...@deluxe-arts.org.uk from this list.
