Museums and the Web 2008
the international conference for culture and heritage on-line
April 9 - 12, 2008
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/
** Closing Plenary: Clifford Lynch, Coalition for Networked Information **
We're delighted that Clifford Lynch has agreed to close MW2008, with a talk reviewing his experiences and observations while at the meeting. Clifford is one of the best synthetic speakers we know, able to draw together strands from many different perspectives towards our common goal of linking people with content and communities. Clifford will close MW2008 with thoughts about how approaches in the museum community mirror or diverge from others.
** Regular Registration Deadline: January 31, 2008 **
If you haven't already registered, the deadline for regular registration is coming up soon. Payment for regular registrations must be *received* by January 31, 2007, in order to get lower rates. Register on-line with a credit card to ensure early rates.
See https://www2.archimuse.com/mw2008/mw2008.registrationForm.html
** Pre-Conference Workshops Filling Up **
Many of the workshops at MW2008 have limited enrollment to ensure that they are great learning experiences. Several are now approaching their limit. If you've been thinking about adding a workshop to your registration, do so soon to avoid disappointment.
** Best of the Web Nominations Close February 1, 2008 **
Help us identify the best museum web sites launched in the last year. Nominate your favourite for a Best of the Web award.
See http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/best/index.html for details.
** Demonstrations **
The first of the Demonstrations accepted for MW2008 are now listed on the conference web site. Demos are a great opportunity to see museum web sites up close and talk to the people who created them.
See http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/demos/index.html for the list.
** Papers On-line **
All the papers from past Museums and the Web conferences are available on-line. See http://conference.archimuse.com/researchForum
** Another Great Conference **
We're looking forward to MW2008 -- the twelfth time we will have come together to review the state of cultural, scientific and heritage content on-line. With everything that's going on now, it's sure to add up to an exciting and informative week. We hope to see you in Montreal!
