#5:  It's in Saratoga Springs, NY, so you can "take the waters,"  visit great museums, the race track, and grand hotels.
#4:  The theme is "Invigorating Museums" - so you can show off how you are refreshing and renewing your museum through a panel, roundtable, workshop, or information session.
#3: There is a reduced fee for presenters and session chairs!
#2:  It's a great way to build up your resume/CV.
and the #1 reason:  You've always wanted to be a presenter at a conference!
