NODEM 2014 Proceedings

Welcome to the NODEM 2014 Conference
We are delighted to give a warm welcome to the NODEM 2014 conference participants who have responded to
our invitation, and we hope that you will find the conference informative and worthwhile. We are gratified that
many participants from our previous NODEM conferences continue to engage in our interdisciplinary effort to
address challenges and opportunities facing museums and cultural heritage institutions. We are proud that
participation at NODEM conferences is becoming more global in reach involving culture heritage professionals
from South America, Asia and USA.
Our highest priority is to provide the most stimulating sessions and exhibitions for sharing know-how, generating
ideas and starting collaborations. The primary goal of the NODEM conference Engaging Spaces is to bring
together heritage professionals, museum researchers as well as ICT experts from around the world in an open
dialogue to discuss the issues facing newly built or renovated museums and other culture-historical institutions
to stay competitive in engaging today’s visitors.
We hope that our diverse and dynamic group of keynote and special session speakers and exhibitors provide
new insight about practical tools, engagement models and methods for heritage institutions to become more
effective in the on-going development efforts of involving visitors through interpretative content and design
and digital strategies.
On behalf of NODEM 2014 conference organizers and partners we would like to thank you for choosing to attend
the NODEM 2014 conference.
We wish you an interesting and productive conference!
Sincerely,
Halina Gottlieb
