On 12 September 2024 over 70 heritage professionals, academics, technologists and open knowledge advocates from across the UK were brought together at a Leadership Roundtable event at Bishopsgate Institute in London to discuss Changes and Challenges in Heritage and Open Knowledge. Hosted by the Arts Marketing Association (AMA) and supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund (The Heritage Fund), the key discussions and recommendations from this event, including reflections from speakers, panellists and participants are shared in this report.

Navigating copyright and open licensing laws is challenging for many heritage organisations. In this Reflect, Share, Inspire session Naomi Korn and Sean Waterman, from Naomi Korn Associates, draw upon resources on the Digital Heritage Hub to recap on copyright and open licensing to help you understand when you need to ask permission to use and share content you do not own the rights to. This includes consideration of the Creative Commons license required as part of National Lottery Heritage Fund grants.
