Thought I’d jump back in here folks because I’ve just returned from a wonderful, engaging, enlightening, and highly entertaining AAM 2012.
Things aren’t usually this hard, but it has been a couple of years since several of us began talking about how nice it would be to get together with colleagues between MCN conferences (or, for the lucky among us, MCN and Museums and the Web). The first “northeast” SIG meeting is nigh. We’ll be getting [...]
I am absolutely unapologetic about cross-posting this little note. For the past two days I’ve been sitting in a lecture room at CWRU with 50 colleagues from all over the country discussing how we might re envision public services in a world where everyone is connected by high-speed, reliable, big, big bandwidth. the bulk of [...]
Musematic seems the proper place to put this on the record. There’s no sense in in re-stating what’s already been stated well by Susan Chun, so I’m just going to quote her, below. The debate is available online, here. This year, the MCN conference’s closing plenary was a formal debate, featuring two teams of debaters [...]
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 [...]
At MCN 2010 I’ll be participating in a follow-on to last year’s “Conference Roundup.” I wasn’t there in person, but the webcast of the session was great! I noticed that the conferences mentioned were mostly related professional conferences, without too much discussion about the kinds of research conferences that I’m usually attending these days. For [...]
Spent a fascinating day today in San Antonio at a MIDEA Workshop on Social Media. MIDEA is an acronym for the Marcus Institute for Digital Education and the Arts. In terms of full disclosure, I’m the lead blogger for the MIDEA blog, so I’m writing this both as an employee and a participant. The workshop [...]
Just back from AAM and since the conference was slam bang in the middle of the American Idol extravaganza, I wanted to nominate a few of my own American Idols. Huzzah for the Digital Jump-Start Unconference Co-chaired by Sharon Leon and Michael Edson Kudos and a special champagne toast to the entire Media & Technology [...]
I enjoy going to the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Museums (AAM). There are interesting sessions, lots of networking opportunities, reunions with friends (old and new) and this year there is one more cause for celebration in Los Angeles. Nik Honeysett, Head of Administration at J. Paul Getty Museum, has been named to [...]
My second MCN conference presentation was the conference round up session where a group of us got 7 minutes each to recap on a conference we attended during the year. I got TED. No I didn’t get to attend, but I watched it on TV – well, the web at least. I’ve never been to [...]
