CultureGeek Conference is run by Sumo – the same people who run MuseumNext conference.  The emphasis is on digital media in the cultural sector and their one-day line included:

Jiajia Fie – Associate Director Digital Marketing – Guggenheim
Sarah Ellis – Head of Digital Development – Sarah Ellis
Rob Gethen Smith – CIO – Southbank Centre
Conrad Bodman – Head of International Relationships – British Film Institute
Stella Eisdom – Digital Curator – British Library
Alice Rawsthorn – Design critic and author
Chris Michaels – Head of Digital and Publishing – British Museum
