MuseumNext 2012 Barcelona

This year Thijs Waardenburg and I attended at the Museumnext conference that took place in the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporánia de Barcelona) in Barcelona. Many inspiring presentations, workshops and discussions about the digital side of museums were held. Museumnext is a conference about technologies and participation for the museum sector that brings together museum professionals and researchers from around the world to share best practices, encourage new thinking and discuss ‘what’s next?’. As we are trying to help museums to cope with the increasing technologies and expectations from the audiences with our project Museum Compass and the specific products (Museum Match, Museum Monitor, Business Models), we wanted to be a part of this community to share thoughts and be inspired by many projects that museums have been doing. In this blog I will highlight some of the presentations we have seen.
