Museums and the Web 2012 (MW2012): Call for Participation
MW2012 takes place April 11-14, 2012
in San Diego, California, USA
Save the Date!
MW2012 will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina.
- Call for Participation Deadline September 30, 2011
- Online proposal submission
- Conference website
- Need to understand what's in a proposal? Take a look at the Abstracts from MW2011.
- Confused about the types of presentation? See the description of session formats for further details.
We are almost done issuing invitations to present in San Diego from the wealth of great proposals received by the Sept 30 deadline. It has not been an easy choice, but we are super-excited about the themes that are emerging: on mobile and strategy, on publishing "after Gutenberg", on metrics and audience motivations, on "megadata" and new ways of thinking about search, and on creative ways to "Fail Forward" by sharing and learning from our mistakes - just to name a few! There will of course also be web and mobile crit rooms, usability labs, workshops, the Best of the Web awards, and lots of great food to enjoy along with your favorite museum people in sunny southern California!
The next call for demonstration proposals closes Dec 31, so there's still a great way to participate in the MW2012 program by showing off your project and work.
Exhibitors can also propose Exhibitor Briefings: demonstrations of recent projects for their commercial products and services.
Please submit your presentation ideas online: http://www.museumsandtheweb.com/node/add/program
See you in San Diego!
I am interested in attending the conference, but I am not ready to present a paper yet. Is it possible to go in that way? I would like to present it for the next conference (2013), when I would have finished my PhD and I would have reached more interesting conclusions to share.
Thanks,
Carmen
Hi Carmen,
That's great that you're planning to attend MW2012 this year! It's probably best to attend at least once before presenting, so your plan of getting a feel for the event and community, and completing your research first is a good one. It will make your proposal in 2013 much stronger, and no doubt your presenting skills as well!
We look forward to meeting you in San Diego! Here is some more information on the MW2012 meeting:
