"Building the Museum" theme pertains to building audiences, endowment,
membership, programs, partnerships, expertise, boards, trust, opportunities,
bridges, collections, capital, relevance, exhibits, professions,
relationships, networks, facilities, virtual museums, communities, staff,
and more!
Sessions provide an opportunity for museum professionals from museums and
related institutions of all sizes, types, and backgrounds to examine how
others in the profession solve problems, develop programs and exhibits, and
collaborate. We invite proposals that examine different points of view,
involve innovative thinking, and take new approaches to problems. If you'd
like to tackle this theme or propose a topic of your own, we invite you to
submit a proposal. Presenters should represent a variety of museums,
disciplines, and a diversity of museum sizes. Speakers outside of the
industry are encouraged to submit proposals. Additional conference
information can be downloaded from the AMM and WFM web sites.

Please circle or underline the session format type and length of session

*Roundtable: led by one or two leaders, offer informal discussion on
specific issues. Because group participation is essential, session leaders

*Workshop: teaches specific skills in group settings. Experts use active
learning methods and techniques. Fees may be charged to cover material
costs. Enrollment is limited. (half or full day)
*Debate: requires dealing with a subject head on. Be sure to get quick
thinkers with well-developed ideas (1.25 or 2.5 hr.)
*Panels: of two or more speakers offer different perspectives on
professional problems and issues. Each session must have a chair who
introduces speakers, moderates discussion, and keeps the session on
schedule. Try to include panelists from a variety of museum sizes and types.
(1.25 hour)
*Other (e.g. - interview) please
explain:_____________________________________________
(Panels are the most often used format but are not always very effective,
especially if they run long and leave no time for discussion. Think about
other formats appropriate to the needs of our colleagues. Be creative and
combine more than one format if you'd like!)
