demonstrations

Attendees got an overview of the diversity of museum activity on the web in the Demonstration Hall. They saw "Up-Close" the techniques used to create museum web sites.

Museum staff showed the key features of their web sites during a full morning of concurrent demonstrations. This was a great chance to discover the tips and tricks that make museum web sites work. Attendees were able to meet and question their colleagues in the informal setting of the Demonstration Hall.

Concurrently, a series of in-depth mini-workshops gave attendees a chance to see "Up Close" how to use particular tools to enhance their web site.
