Dear Emerging Museum Professionals,
As we all know, the field of museum work is continuously progressing, and you, as an emerging museum professional, are essential to these new ideas that are taking form. As an EMP you are faced with many unique challenges – mastering museum skill sets, the current economic climate, increased competition, all while new trends are continuously emerging. There is certainly a lot to keep up with!
It is with this idea of the future that the Western Museum Association’s (WMA) 2013 Annual Meeting Program Committee determined the many forward-thinking presentations within the over 170 presenters in over 50 sessions. The WMA has broken these sessions out into six interdisciplinary tracks including, Business, Careerpath/Leadership, Collections, Technology, Visitor Experience and Community Engagement. Much like many of your roles within your current and future institutions, each session incorporates multiple perspectives from across museum disciplines.
So why should you attend?
WMA 2013 will be a great opportunity for you to meet and network with colleagues and each other, in particular during an EMP Meet-Up and multiple networking lunches and breaks. The sessions themselves have been thoroughly peer-reviewed and represent the most relevant and exciting topics in museums in the West. When is there a better time to visit Salt Lake City and see things like the Spiral Jetty, the Great Salt Lake, and experience a city at the crossroads of the West? And you get to learn about the future of museums!
You can view the full Preliminary Program here: http://www.westmuse.org/conferences/WMA_2013_Prelim_Program.pdf
Regular registration is open, and student rates are always reduced. Click here to register: http://www.regonline.com/WMA2013
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Salt Lake City in October!
