Speakers revealed for an unique networking opportunity in Wales

The full speakers list and event schedule for Mining Heritage Unearthed has been revealed today.  The action packed day lists more than 10 speakers from right across the creative and cultural spectrum. Please click here for a full event guide. The event is launched by a series of talks that will each uncover an aspect of Wales' mining heritage, including what heritage assets are available, new technology and community developments,  and reflections on how to support sustained community involvement. The event will then extend to current products available to deliver our heritage to a wider audience. This time speakers will herald from local SMEs and will include both mobile and static interpretation solutions. Based on the research carried out by CISNET one of the biggest barriers to developing new projects has been a lack of suitable funding and learning of new opportunities.  The afternoon session of Mining Heritage Unearthed turns this around and includes sessions from open and suitable funding sources plus information on two new projects set to commence this year! Mining Heritage Unearthed offers a lot to take on board, especially when so many of the confirmed attendees also have their own ideas to share.  To bring the event to a close a special innovation session will be held that will help all attending bring their ideas together. There are a still some spaces available for this free of charge event, and anyone interested in attending are urged to contact the Welsh CISNET project officer without delay at e.harrocks@tsd.ac.uk Please click here for a full event guide.
