It is most useful for scholars, educators, archivists, designers and artists who work with images and memory, since the theme concerns the legacy of images across cultures and time and the venue is The Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston. Practitioners looking for software training, vendor products or industry networking would get less from it, as the facts describe an academic, interdisciplinary theme rather than a commercial program.

Attendees at academic and arts conferences held in museums usually wear smart casual, with creative touches allowed, and comfortable shoes for walking between sessions in Charleston.
