Dear Museum Colleague:

 

There is still time to register for the 2011 AMM Conference, Museums Making Connections, which is scheduled for October 6-9 at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio.   This year’s conference will feature outstanding sessions, speakers and special events, including a private concert performance by legendary rocker Patti Smith at the opening reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Advanced registrations must be postmarked by September 17.  A conference program can be downloaded at http://www.midwestmuseums.org/pdfs/2010_prelim_program.pdf.  A registration form can be downloaded at http://www.midwestmuseums.org/pdfs/2010%20Conference%20Registration%20Form.pdf.

 

If you’re planning to join us in Cleveland, make sure that you reserve your room at the Renaissance Hotel.  AMM has negotiated a special room rate of $119 for the conference and will honor the rate through September 16.  To reserve your room online, visit https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=2499015.  By phone, contact the hotel at 800-266-9432.   The Renaissance is a lovely, historic property.  A metro runs directly from the airport to the hotel and costs less than $2 (and takes less than 30 minutes) per trip.

 

Finally, I’m pleased to announce the Parts 2 and 3 of the YouTube sensation are not available.  Please click on the links below to view the final installments of the message from your colleagues in Cleveland:
