Come and decide for yourself at the Canadian Museums Association annual conference, June 15-18, in Vancouver.

Titles of sessions include The Future Is Not What It Used to Be, The Museum in the Gold Fish Bowl, The New Museology and All That Jazz, The Object on Trial, Oh Heck, Hi Tech--Upsides and Down of Mass Media and Technology. An Electronic Cafe will offer you the opportunity to explore some creative uses of technology in museums. An extraordinary line up of speakers will challenge and entertain you--amongst them writer and philosopher John Ralston Saul (author of The Doubter's Companion), Globe and Mail journalist Bronwyn Drainie, CBC radio celebrity Marg Meikle, Canadian playwright, journalist, writer John Gray, and CMA Fellow Duncan Cameron. Along with some thoughtful discussion and presentations, you will have opportunity to explore Vancouver's hot and wet spots, both natural and cultural.
