CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Museums and Technology:
The Name of the Game is Change
The Annual Museum Computer Network Conference
Las Vegas, Nevada USA
September 5-9, 2000
DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS FOR SESSIONS & WORKSHOPS: April 30, 2000
The staid and traditional "museum" is shedding its straight-jacket
and morphing into an organization that reaches out to new audiences
and communities using the latest tools. Technological advances point
toward a new way of conducting business -- changing staff roles, new
organizational structure, diverse audiences, increased access,
innovative collaborations, new approaches. Change is the status quo.
How do we mainstream this concept into the very core of a museum's
mission and operations? How can we possibly keep pace with the
blindingly quick rate of technological change? MCN-2K offers an
opportunity to stop spinning and think, discuss, learn about, and
reflect on change.
You are invited to submit your proposal for a conference
session or pre-conference workshop, addressing the conference theme
or any area of technology relating to museums or cultural heritage.
Please check the categories that best describe the subject of this
proposal:
