Please note the following correction to the Call for the 2010 Marketplace of Ideas. The Marketplace will be held from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 24. Call for Proposals for the 2010 CARE Marketplace of Ideas Held at the AAM Annual Meeting and MuseumExpo™ 2010 Monday, May 24, 2010 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Petree Hall at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California Deadline MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2010 To CARE Marketplace Chair Kathleen Tinworth Theme Inspired by the AAM 2010 Annual Meeting theme, "Museums Without Borders," the CARE Marketplace of Ideas will showcase how audience research and evaluation act as a catalyst for connections and community -- illuminating what we, as museum professionals, need to better understand our visitors within our ever-changing vision for the future, and what visitors of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities and locations need to better understand themselves and one another through the museum medium. Purpose The purpose of the CARE Marketplace is: To showcase audience research and evaluation work currently being undertaken in and for museums To encourage museums of all sizes and types to engage in audience research and evaluation To present information on the related areas of museum audiences and museum programs and exhibitions, to encourage museum professionals to seek generalizations, trends, and principles that can guide efforts to improve practice To feature studies and programming responding to community or contemporary issues, programming beyond the walls of the museum, innovative museum/community partnerships, and the use of technology to reach new audiences. Presenters Museum staff, consultants, museum studies faculty, and students who have done work on visitor studies, audience research and evaluation, and museum education are encouraged to share their findings. For those presenters who plan to attend ONLY on Monday (the day of the Marketplace), complimentary day registration will be available; please indicate on the submission form if you desire a pass for Monday. Presentation Each presenter will prepare a poster or other form of display, handouts, and other materials as relevant. Displays will be on view concurrently during the one hour session. Participants will be invited to walk from display to display, read the posters and other materials, and interact with the presenters. Presenters must be knowledgeable about the study and available throughout the session for discussion. Under separate cover, presenters will be sent guidelines for content, format, and delivery of materials. Sharing your Presentation In past years, session and poster presenters were asked to write a paper for Current Trends in Audience Research and Evaluation. This printed publication has served us well, but in working toward greater dissemination and discussion of the ideas, research, and issues of our field, CARE will begin sharing more material presented at the Annual Meetings on its website in an electronic format. Though not a requirement for 2010 posters, after the Annual Meeting CARE will be asking those presenting to share their posters on the CARE website (similar to what the Media and Technology committee does). We welcome any comments or thoughts about the best way to do this. If you have ideas, please contact Chair Keni Sturgeon. Participants We encourage museum staff, consultants, museum studies faculty, and students who are members of CARE and registered for the AAM Annual Meeting to consider applying to participate in the Marketplace.
