The Canterbury Regional Digital Forum – GLAM IT is happening on 13 October 2016 at the Ashburton Gallery. GLAM IT is a meet up for those involved in digital innovation within GLAM and Tech sectors. This is a chance to connect with people doing innovative projects within galleries, libraries, archives and museums and learn where our sector is heading as we face the digital future. It’s a free event and I will be organising a carpool from Christchurch to Ashburton. You can register for the event here http://www.ndf.org.nz/regional-forum-registration
What is it?
An unconference where we plan out sessions on the day. Bring your questions, suggestions, ideas for discussion topics and an open mind.
Who is it for?
Anyone who works in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums), anyone who produces digital media projects for this sector (web developers, app makers etc) or anyone with an interest in these areas.
When is it
13 October 2016 10am – 3pm

Thanks Anton. It came to me in a blinding flash that whoever thought of “GLAM” did a very smart PR job of making this group sound infinitely more appealing than any of the alternative acronyms, eg. MALG (Museums, Archives, Libraries and Galleries) which would push the wrong buttons wouldn’t it! (I just had to share that insight on this spring-like Friday morning boding so well for the weekend!)
The CAUL Research Advisory Committee could possibly take a leaf out of their book…
