The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) is pleased to announce that we are now accepting abstracts for our 47th Annual Meeting, taking place in Greater New England at the Mohegan Sun Resort in Uncasville, CT, May 13 - 17, 2019.
The theme for the General and Specialty sessions, to be held May 15 to May 17 will be: "New Tools, Techniques, and Tactics in Conservation and Collection Care" Are conservation professionals innovators? We think so. From developing new approaches to conservation treatment and preventive care, to utilizing cutting-edge technological research, to examining how cultural heritage is defined and valued, conservation professionals are innovative, dynamic, forward-looking agents of change. And how does collaboration with related fields and allied professionals influence the dynamics of the conservation - innovation process? We seek papers that explore all types of new work: practical, method-focused treatment projects; advances in collections care and management; discoveries in conservation science; and conservation initiatives that intentionally have a positive impact on communities. In 2019, let's come together to share new ideas for solving conservation and collections care problems large and small. Abstract submissions should be no more than 500 words with an additional 300-word speaker biography and will be due on or before September 15, 2018. ________________________________ Online abstract portals are now open for the following sessions: Opening General Session- we have a special call for presentations in the opening session. These talks should be short, idea-focused presentations that address the opening session's theme of "advance and inspire." Talk format should be 15 minutes in length or less, and presentations can include a few slides, in a style similar to TED talks. The program committee is seeking a diversity of voices and perspectives in the opening session, as well as talks that will foster learning or inspire conversation.
