Real Life: Virtual Experiences
New Connections for Museum Visitors
October 24-27, 2001
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

MCN/CIMI Joint Conference Explores Key Applications that Shape Museum
Visitors' Experience

Second generation hand-held devices...immersive environments....wearable
technologies...smart architecture...rich multimedia...user-centered design.

All these and many other applications are transforming the visitor
experience. And now MCN and the CIMI Institute have joined forces to
explore them in a conference appropriate to the 21st century. It will be
one of the most engaging gatherings of museum professionals in years. It
will also offer a whole lot more than just sitting and listening--because
we've designed three distinct environments that will allow you to:

Learn from key experts in sessions tailored to the theme
Do nifty things in hands-on workshops
Discuss with your colleagues in affinity group meetings

Who should attend?
Museum directors, curators, educators, collection managers, information
managers, IT directors, application developers, implementers, integration
engineers, new media designers and managers, artists, and many others.

Conference Co-chairs: Robin Dowden and Angela Spinazze
