Friday 5 September 2008, 10.00–18.00

Are museums ready to play in the digital age? Rapid advances in technology are making the traditional audiotour increasingly redundant, and visitors are now offered sophisticated multimedia tours on PDAs, iPods and even mobile phones.

This symposium is for museum workers who want to know more about how the new generation of mobile devices can benefit their institutions. International museum professionals with in-depth experience in handheld program design, development and evaluation lead the day’s discussions.

Case studies will include Tate's own pioneering work in this area which includes a Bafta-award winning multimedia tour, mobile phone tours, a tour that allows visitors to create their own user-generated content, and the UK's first iPod touch tour.
