Room G31, Foster Court

As part of the Social Media Knowledge Exchange (SMKE), UCL, together with its project partners, is hosting a one day workshop on 6th June on the theme: Social Media and the Museum.

General workshop theme: how social media is changing museum practice and visitor experience; how social media can be integrated into museums and collections.

This is a one day workshop with talks from a range of academic and non-academic social media experts, targeted at doctoral students and early career researchers. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion as well as hands on practical experience. Workshop places are strictly limited and so early registration is necessary. Please register via Eventbrite.

Please see the SMKE website for full programme information.

Registration is also now open for the SMKE conference on 2 & 3 July.
