Worried about the future of social media and how this might impact your role?
For our October event, we’ll be hearing from David C. Weinczok FSAScot, who joined the The Trimontium Trust as their new Heritage Interpretation Officer in January 2024. David has had a varied career, working freelance as a Scottish historian, researcher, author and speaker. He has also worked at other organisations in the sector, including as a Digital Media Content Creator at National Museums Scotland.
David will talk about which social media skills helped him transition to a role that is more than about creating and managing online content, and how these transferrable skills have made him an important member of his team over the last several months. Whether you’re looking to take on new responsibilities within your current organisation or are planning your next career move, he’ll cover what you can do now to expand your options going forward, even if (like David) you’ve left behind any or all of your personal social media accounts.
This online event will conclude with a Q&A session.
WHEN: Wed, 2 Oct 2024 15:00 – 16:00 BST

Thanks to our fantastic sponsor, we’re able to offer payment to all SHSMG speakers while keeping these events free for attendees:
“Whereverly create cultural and heritage tourism apps and websites.
We want tourists and locals to embrace local culture and heritage through music, song and stories, whilst discovering the hidden gems.
The Whereverly app and web platform makes creating a helpful tourism app easy. The content on Whereverly apps is produced for the most part by local communities, guides, heritage professionals, park rangers and local storytellers.
The Whereverly apps and website feature interactive maps, 3D maps, AR experiences, points of interests, favouriting and list building. As well as audio and non-audio walking, cycling, driving and rail tours. As well as music and stories delivered based on where the visitor is.
Example of our apps are Falkirk Explored, the North Coast 500, Scotland Starts Here, Explore Stirling, Highland Discovery and the Coig. We have developed supporting websites re-using the app content for the Coig and Scotland Starts Here. We are working on new heritage focussed projects which feature AR models, badge collecting and 3D maps.”
