Tools, accounts and digital footprints

This workshop guides you through the steps for managing social media, cloud accounts and digital assets in preparation or response to death
About this Event

Our lives don't just exist in physical spaces, but also online. Social media profiles, cloud storage, digital photos, subscriptions and shared documents form part of our legacy and digital footprint. What happens to these accounts when someone dies? And how can we prepare for the digital traces that we will leave behind?

In this workshop you will be guided through the practical steps for managing social media, cloud accounts and digital assets in preparation or response to death.
