New York State's Museums in Conversation: What Inspires You?
April 11-13, 2010 at the Albany Marriott, Wolf Road, Albany, NY
Sponsored by the Upstate History Alliance and the Museum Association of New York

We all take inspiration from many – sometimes unlikely – sources.  In continuing the conversation format of last year’s conference (the largest gathering of museum professionals in NY State), UHA and MANY seek discussion proposals that focus on what inspires you about the work of others, be they museums, libraries, nature centers or parks, small or big businesses.  What have you seen that’s been so great, so innovative, so enterprising, so adaptable, and so fun that you want to talk about it with your colleagues?

We welcome proposals from a wide range of institutions and practitioners, within and outside the museum community, to encourage lively discussions that offer new perspectives on our work and create new connections to each other.
