Call for Proposals for the 2007 Marketplace of 
Ideas


and Read The Fine Print


 


Held at the 2007 
AAM Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL on 



Monday, May 14, 
2007, from

2007 Theme: This year's Marketplace will expand 
upon the larger theme of the Annual Meeting, "Why Museums Matter," and is 
entitled 


 


Museum 
Education Matters: Current Trends in Museum 
Education


 


As museum 
education professionals and volunteers, we understand how and why museum 
education matters. But are we doing an effective job of communicating this to 
others? What are current trends in museum education that convey the value of 
museum education to the public, the media, policy-makers and funders? What are 
the key messages that we as a community are communicating, and need to 
communicate?
