CALL FOR PAPERS
2016 ICEE ANNUALCONFERENCE
Communicating, Connecting and Innovating with Style
Milan has been regarded as a fashion and design capital since the Middle Ages. It is known around the world as a vibrant city fuelled by fashion, art and design; inspiring new trends and new ways of viewing the world. What better way to pay tribute to our host city than for the ICEE to discuss the influence of fashion and design in the way museums craft experiences and communicate their messages to visitors.
Museums borrow from the world of fashion and design and are influenced by it. Visual impact, client-centered, bespoke or tailor-made, design-thinking, innovation-all of these design and fashion concepts and ideas have pervaded the museum world.
This year, we invite conference participants to think about their work in exhibitions through the eyes of the design world, exploring the ways museums communicate, connect with audiences and plan for dynamic and engaging visitor experiences.
We invite conference proposals that explore the following topics:
1) Communicating in Style
In this information age, Museums must communicate with impact and clarity, simplifying messages and using innovative tools to effectively transmit big ideas in exhibitions. How do Museums tell stories that make an impact? How do we communicate big ideas through design and visitor experience?
2) Connecting with Audiences in Style
A deep understanding of the needs and motivations of visitors is at the heart of developing meaningful museum experiences and exhibitions. Museums are tailoring their content in an effort to create authentic experiences that touch visitors on a personal level and keep them coming back. How do we connect our goals and the needs of our audience? How do we involve our audience/community in our work? What are some best practices for creating meaningful audience engagement?
3) Innovating with Style
Museums constantly need to innovate and experiment in order to remain relevant. Museums look to the realm of fashion and design for inspiration and vision. What role can design play in shaping the way we think about exhibitions and museum experiences? What are some new ideas and emerging trends in fashion, restaurants, retail, theater etc. that inspire exhibitions, communications, design and visitor experience in museums?
The 2016 ICEE Annual Conference will accept proposals in the following formats:

b. Case Study-20 minute presentation focused on an actual situation or particular project, development, implementation and outcomes, as well as key learnings.
