INTERCOM is delighted to invite you to this year's exciting conference in Sydney, Australia which will take place from the 25-29 November 2012.
The conference theme is #museumchallenges.
Museums have always operated in times of change, yet the challenges and pace of change over the last five years has been unprecedented.
Globalisation, environmental issues and climate change, relationships with Indigenous and creator communities, diversity of audiences, different employee mindsets, new skill sets, new media and technologies and the global financial crisis, have placed increasing pressure on the ways museums are managed and led.
The conference will address these issues using a mix of conference/meeting formats designed to encourage conversation, learning, intellectual stimulation and exchange of ideas.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We warmly invite all interested to send in proposals to present either a
20 minute paper OR a10 minute case study.
