Alice Grant CIDOC/mda 1999 Conference Delivering Diversity Promoting Participation 6 - 10 September 1999,Imperial College, London Building on the 1998 mda Cultural Grid Conference and the seminal international work of CIDOC, the joint mda/CIDOC Conference in 1999 will focus upon audience. Answers will be sought to pressing questions faced by those across the cultural sector, including museums, libraries and archives: What is the cultural content required by our diverse audiences? In what ways can we reach new and traditionally excluded audiences? How is the process of communication, as well as the dissemination of information, ensured? What are the information and quality standards needed to drive forward the audience-focused agenda? Proposals are sought for innovative and thought provoking papers from educators, information managers and strategists which will stimulate debate well beyond the conference itself. The closing date for proposals is 26 February 1999.
