WebWise 2009: Digital Debates

Save the Date! The 10th annual WebWise Conference on Libraries and Museums in the Digital Age will be held in Washington, DC, February 25-27, 2009. IMLS will partner with The Wolfsonian-Florida International University and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to host this year’s signature event. The theme of the 2009 conference is “Digital Debates.” Sessions will feature library and museum leaders as well as experts outside of the cultural heritage community who will stimulate conversation and reflect on the challenges posed by emerging technologies and their effects on the roles that libraries and museums will play in the next decade. The conference will open with a half-day pre-conference workshop on the afternoon of February 25, followed by the opening reception. The main conference will begin on February 26 and conclude by noon on February 27. The conference hotel is the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill.
