The annual meetings of the regional museum associations (MMC, MAAM, etc) are often interesting from a museum administrator, registrar, educator point of view (I think that's what the bulk of the papers deal with). I will be there (okay, I'll be chairing two sessions) and would be happy to meet face-to-face any of the museum-l people I've been happily e-mailing to. I would encourage new museum professionals and students to attend - if they can afford it - since it is a great opportunity to meet other museeum people in the regional and is generally more affordable that the national AAM meeting.
