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!
