By The Knowledge Transfer Network

Date and time

Thu, 5 Mar 2020 13:00 - 17:30 GMT

Location

London United Kingdom

Description

Join UK5G and the National Gallery to explore the impact and importance of 5G for the Museums, Galleries and Heritage sector. You will get an opportunity to tell us what your needs are and share ideas on how 5G can enable and enhance your creative projects and infrastructure needs. The high-bandwidth low-latency technologies promised by 5G will likely radically disrupt the sector both in the way the content is delivered and received.

Thanks to 5G, immersive experiences will become more seamless and available not only to a groups of people at the same time but also to remote visitors. 5G will also impact how museums, galleries and other venues operate.

Join us to understand the 5G and explore the wealth of opportunities it offers to the Arts and Heritage sector. We will be discussing immersive experiences, IoT, real-time remote collaborations with other establishments worldwide, and how curators can improve the preservation and storage of most precious artefacts.

The workshop is ideally designed for staff working in digital teams at museums, galleries and heritage organisations. A detailed technology knowledge is not necessary as we will have experts on hand.

** Conditions of Registration **

Places at the event are limited, and we are operating an expression of interest system for this event. You will be informed in due course if you have been allocated a ticket. Venue information will only be provided to those who have been offered a place.

***Statement of Intent***

The Knowledge Transfer Network is committed to increasing diversity and advancing equality of opportunity to create a vibrant climate of inclusiveness across the sectors that we serve.

As a responsible business, it is important to us that we represent the diversity of our people and communities, and that we create an inclusive innovation ecosystem in the UK in which everyone can reach their full potential.

It is vital that we monitor and analyse diversity information so that we can ensure that our processes, events and communications are fair, transparent, promote equality of opportunity for all, and do not have an adverse impact on any particular group.

Your cooperation in providing us with accurate data will ensure that we design and apply policies and processes that embrace a diverse and inclusive environment.

Any information provided on registration will be treated as strictly confidential and will be used for statistical purposes only.

No information will be published or used in any way which allows any individual to be identified.

KTN Events and Coronavirus

While it remains safe to do so, KTN will continue to run and attend events. Responsibility for health and safety at these events is primarily held by the venues. However, KTN will work closely with all venues and partners involved to ensure that staff, speakers and delegates are protected. You will therefore be likely to see increased hand gel, tissues, wipes and masks (where appropriate) handed out at events.

It is possible that due to an assessed risk, an event may be postponed or cancelled at short notice in order to protect the health of our attendees. Where this is the case, we will endeavour to let you know as soon as possible.

Please do not travel to events should you feel unwell, and please follow the published Public Health England advice, which you can find here.
