Hi everyone, For local California folks, below is a note about the upcoming deadline for next year's California Association of Museums conference.
Some of our friends presented this year (Jim Angus and Stephanie Pau, to name two), and the conference was well-attended. The folks I met were generally from smaller museums and eager to learn more about technology and its applications in museums. Consider submitting a proposal for CAM's 2009 conference in San Francisco, it will be easy on the travel budget. Think of it as a warm-up for the 2009 MCN conference.
