Always I?ve learned helpful information that I brought home and applied. I had a great time in Portland but I also felt frustrated that I missed a lot when I was on a panel and maybe Sam or Chuck or Mike were in another room on their panel. By running 5 tracks for fewer than 200 attendees there are too many competitive slots, often on similar subjects, that splinter the community. I know program planning is not easy and those thankless folks that do this give their valuable personal time without much reward. Can we find a way in 2010 to have a max of three tracks and be more selective about what we show and tell? All best for 2010, Alan -- Alan Newman Chief, Digital Imaging & Visual Services National Gallery of Art _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/pipermail/mcn-l/
