The Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester hosted the 2007 European EMu User Group Meeting on 12-13 April. The meeting program comprised many entertaining and informative presentations from a cross-section of Art, Cultural History, Natural History and Science museums; KE Software staff; and representatives from industry standards bodies. An update on the SPECTRUM standard was presented by the Chief Executive of the MDA as well as a presentation from the Chair of the ICOM/CIDOC Documentation Standards Working Group, describing the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model.

Hosted tours were also a very successful part of the conference program with tours of the Whitworth Art Gallery and the Gallery of Costume, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the People's History Museum.

Interestingly a number of prospective EMu customers also attended the meeting for first hand discussion with existing EMu users.
