Cultural Heritage organisations have been working on the web for some time now. For the most part we understand the opportunities that this environment offers to us. But just as we get to grips with the web and the Social Web in particular, along comes mobile with a whole new way of thinking about how content experiences can be delivered.

This talk looks at mobile culture and the way we can use it to our advantage. We’ll look at the landscape, and ask: Why now for mobile? What can we learn from the statistics? What do people do with their mobile phones and how can we – as cultural heritage organisations – learn from this?
