This year’s hotly anticipated Museum Computer Network conference is rapidly approaching. Join the Antenna speakers in Pittsburgh between 7-10 November for an exciting line-up of talks, workshops, demos and events which we’re either hosting, presenting or being panelists in. The topic for this year is “Looking Back, Thinking Forward, Taking Action”.
Here’s who, what, where, when:
