Saying goodbye to any member of DCC staff is always poignant even as we wish them well in their new role.

The DCC and Royal College of Art are hosting a virtual RDMF event on the 3rd of June 2020. We have a number of excellent speakers lined up and we will use the best online tools to make an engaging and informative event about the management of Arts Data.
