Dear museum colleagues,

Some of you have followed the growth of The Tech Virtual Museum  
Workshop, in which we are inviting people from all over the world to  
design exhibits for The Tech Museum of Innovation via the Web and  
Second Life.  You may think we're nuts.  You may think it sounds  
fabulous.  You (hopefully) have been waiting in the wings, eager to  
try your own hand at such a process, curious about where to start.

On June 3, we will be opening the first "virtual to real" exhibition  
at The Tech, featuring 8 exhibits that were designed via this virtual  
process by bartenders in Toronto, accountants in England, game  
designers in Australia, and more.  On June 4, we will be holding a  
free summit, Digital Democracy in Exhibit Design, to engage the  
museum community in a larger conversation about the role of  
technology and open-source philosophy in collaborative exhibit  
design.  You will be invited to tour the new exhibition, talk with  
the outside creators and advisors to The Tech Virtual, and join in a  
lively roundtable discussion about the future of exhibit design.

For more information about the schedule, participants, keynote, and  
content, please visit http://thetechvirtual.org/news/june-4-summit- 
invitation

The summit is free, but you must register by emailing  
[log in to unmask]  Space will be filled on a first-come, first  
served basis.  Please feel free to share this invitation with  
colleagues and contact me if you have any questions.

Be well!

Nina
