lively sessions focusing on the following themes: Developing Museum

Information, Access and Intranets; Developing Standards; Copyright and
Managing Intellectual Property; Business Solutions for Museums; and What
the Future Looks Like. Two interactive forums will be conducted on topics

duration of the conference. The ever-popular Silent Auction will feature
lively
