Call For Proposals Are you developing new exhibitions, interpretive programs, or public spaces that involve technology? Do you have a technology success story you're eager to tell or a project failure you're willing to share? Contribute your skills and experience by presenting a virtual session during AAM Technology, Interpretation, and Education 2010 (TIE 2010), June 23 24.
TIE 2010 is a two-day, multi-session online conference featuring 60-minute sessions that provides an interactive forum for museum professionals at all levels to explore current technology trends and practices in museum education, interpretation, exhibition, public programs, and outreach. Participants will engage with technologists, education/interpretation specialists, and other expert practitioners to examine technology and new media projects that support the interpretation of collections and enhance learning experiences. Each day of the two-day TIE 2010 web conference will consist of a plenary session and a series of one-hour presentations, followed by allotted break times, showcases from a variety of institutions (a virtual marketplace of ideas), and opportunities to interact with and learn from each other. At the end of each day, presenters and participants are invited to a "virtual happy hour" for a daily recap and discussion. There is still time to submit a proposal. You can even present in your slippers and smoking jacket, we'll never know. C'mon, you know you want to...
