Roundtable meetings

Thanks to the continued support of TELDAP, Culturemondo, NZLive.com and Te Ara: the encyclopedia of New Zealand hosted the 5th international roundtable in Wellington on Wednesday 25th November 2009.

The roundtable focussed on two major items of discussion:

• How do we measure the economic and social value of cultural websites? This will raise issues of metrics, evaluation etc.
  Speaker:Seb Chan, Powerhouse Museum
• A report on the recent survey of sites carried out by Culturemondo.
  What trends, issues and future directions are suggested by the survey?
  Speaker: Jane Finnis, Culture24

Attendance at the roundtable was from a mixture of those running cultural websites and services within New Zealand, plus several international guests from The Netherlands, Taiwan, Australia and Luxembourg.

The roundtable took place the day after New Zealand's National Digital Forum
