Thought I’d jump back in here folks because I’ve just returned from a wonderful, engaging, enlightening, and highly entertaining AAM 2012.
Just wanted to announce that the 2011 Horizon Report>Museum Edition has gone to press (and was officially launched at MCN in Atlanta last week). Follow this link to a page where you can a) download the report, or b) watch a >4 minute video which gives a brief overview of the six technologies featured in [...]

The idea is that we’ll hold at least one day-long regional meeting (I would amend that to “one regional meeting” for this coming year as [...]
MCN 2010 looks to be the best conference in a long time. Nancy Proctor, Program Chair, and Christina DePaolo, Conference Chair and their respective teams have worked hard to put together programs and events that are timely, relevant, interesting, and fun. There’s still time to register and (if you make your reservations by Friday) get [...]
