GEM Conference 2012
This year's conference is based in Exeter from Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 September 2012 and the theme is Making the Case: the value of heritage education.
In these
challenging times it is essential to make a compelling case for heritage
education – one that stands up to rigorous scrutiny.
This conference
will help heritage management and education professionals explore, identify
and articulate the unique value of heritage education, and the positive
impacts it has on a wide variety of audiences.
Explore how to
make the case effectively to external and internal audiences using tools for
measuring benefits, outcomes and costs.
Become familiar with gathering evidence for a business case, and
learn ways of presenting the case to senior staff, stakeholders, visitors
and the media. Discuss ways of
putting a monetary value against benefits or appreciating the “lost
opportunity” costs.
GEM’s 2012

opportunities offered will engage and inspire professionals from
career-entry to management level.
