Dear ICOM members We are happy to announce that the ICME web site has been updated with both tentative schedule, registration forms and conference fee information for the 2006 ICOM-ICME Annual Conference "CONNECTIONS, COMMUNITIES AND COLLECTIONS" in Miami Beach, Florida, on July 10-12, 2006: http://icme.icom.museum We would like to see as many ICOM members as possible attending this year's conference, and are therefore offering an 'Early Bird' discount on all registration payments made before March 30th, as well as reduced conference fees for students and participants from economically disadvantaged countries. ICME offers an optional three-day post-conference tour after the conference. We need to have at least 20 participants in order to arrange this tour. If you plan on joining us, please let us know as early as possible at [log in to unmask] !
