Event Details
AmbITion and Arts Council England, London invite you to the AmbITion/Digital Opportunities Roadshow
Organisations 2.0, the RFO in the Digital Age
This AmbITion Roadshow is part of the Art Of Digital London, a programme for Arts Council London RFO's and other interested arts organisations in London who want to enhance their digital strategies, use digital tools effectively and share resources. The AmbITion Roadshow is a hands on practical day, followed by a day-long symposium. We're running the events back-to-back on 16th and 17th July, at Lilian Bayliss, Sadler's Wells. Please sign up for the AmbITion Roadshow on 16th July here, and sign up for the Symposium on 17th July here: http://www.meetup.com/Art-of-Digital-London
The AmbITion Roadshow is a day of exploration, exposition, conversation and critical thinking around the digital opportunities for organisations as you think about artistic practice, organisational and audience development and business models in our digital age. Gain practical hands on experience of the Web 2.0 environment with hands-on sessions to inspire and provoke creative thinking on how to integrate Web 2.0 into your organisation. The Roadshow will showcase some of the most exciting models via talks, masterclasses and practical immersive sessions, and show you how to use them to their full potential. We will try to answer the following questions:
Why?
The phrase Web 2.0 is being increasingly used, but often with little understanding of what it means. Web 2.0 offers genuine interactivity. It’s a two-way process that enables us to build communities, engage in dialogue and enrich experiences. This can include websites, YouTube, MySpace, Second Life, Facebook, mobile technologies among many others. This is not about grafting a token ‘digital’ strand to our activity, it's about changing the way we do things, as our audiences are. The good news is it doesn't need to be difficult, or expensive.
Who?
Chief executives, directors and senior managers of Arts Council regularly funded organisations should attend this opportunity to get thinking, get immersed and get participating with digital opportunities.
When?
16th July 2009
How much will it cost?
The event is free to the Arts Council’s regularly funded organisations.
Where?
Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler's Wells Islington, London
