Communicating the Museum

Will Gompertz
Director of Tate Media, Chairman of the conference

"I'm delighted that Agenda have asked me to chair this conference focusing on New Media. It's an extremely timely subject as developments in technology combined with mass public take-up of these services have given us all a range of significant new tools to engage audiences. Whether it's developing online broadband channels or 3G subscription services, we have much to discuss and learn from each other. I greatly look forward to a wide-ranging debate where we will all come away better equipped to serve our audiences."

Will is Director of Tate Media with responsibility for Digital/Online, TV, Communications (Press and Marketing, Design and Print), TATE ETC. (magazine publishing), Membership and the Box Office as well as all major public events, such as The Long Weekend, and promotional ventures.
