Museumpalooza: A Celebration of Cultural Tourism and Communities

  

It's time to celebrate!  And what better place to celebrate museums and cultural tourism that Chicago, Illinois!  Make plans now to attend the 2011 AMM conference, Museumpalooza: A Celebration of Cultural Tourism and Communities.  This fabulous conference is scheduled for July 24-27 at the beautiful and historic Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.  AMM will collaborate with the Illinois Association of Museums (IAM) to present this special conference experience.  AMM and IAM have scheduled Museumpalooza in conjunction with the Visitors Studies Association (VSA) 2011 conference, Sustaining a Community of Learners.  This partnership will create a unique and expanded opportunity to network and share best practices with other museum professionals.  Adopting an open door policy, registrants for both conferences will have access to all sessions, speakers and special events.

 

AMM and IAM are accepting session proposals for Museumpalooza.  Special consideration will be given to sessions that incorporate unique presentation formats, that address relevant museum issues, and demonstrate creative collaborations.  AMM and IAM are particularly interested in sessions that provoke dialogue, encourage critical thinking and advance learning.

 

The deadline for submitting a session proposal is Friday, November 19, 2010.  To download a session proposal, visit http://www.midwestmuseums.org/pdfs/call_for_proposals2011.pdf.  For additional information, contact AMM Executive Director Brian Bray at 314-746-4557 or at [log in to unmask].
