Collaborating on Digital Growth
DEN, Kunstinstituut Melly (opens in new tab), and LantarenVenster (opens in new tab) are joining forces for a practical afternoon that removes the complexity of digital transformation. No boring lectures, but a hands-on session where you, together with colleagues from the sector and the region, lay the foundation for the future of your organization. A unique opportunity to work on a solid digital foundation.
Your Digital To-Do List, But in Just One Afternoon
During this edition, there will be extra attention on cybersecurity and digital accessibility, topics many cultural organizations in Rotterdam want to make progress on.
We will also take a broader look at what is needed for a stable foundation. We have outlined the eight indispensable building blocks for a digital foundation. Together with experts and peers, we will translate abstract topics into concrete steps you can take starting tomorrow.
- Legislation and regulations:
- Cybersecurity - create a secure work environment
- Digital accessibility - create inclusive websites that work for everyone
- Digital sustainability - sustainable and cost-saving IT choices
- Copyright - control over your own work and clarity about using others' content
- GDPR - how can you work GDPR-compliantly?
- Data - gain control over data
- IT Infrastructure - control over your tools and systems
- Digital skills - confidently start working with new tools
These are the building blocks that provide clarity énd guidance. A good foundation is, after all, the key to success and prevents you from losing a lot of time and money later on due to security risks and project bottlenecks.
Who Is This Event For?
This tour is especially for you if you work for a small or medium-sized cultural organization. If you want to tackle digital developments but don’t know where to start. And if you’re looking for concrete tools, not vague theories, and a network to help you move forward.
