Museum Conference 2013 – Europe’s big conference on social and digital media for Museums.

“What’s next for museums ?
Now in its fifth year MuseumNext looks to bring together the leading themes, trends and related best practice from the digital side of museums, with the aim of providing a clear insight into how technology and media are shaping our institutions and the world around us. This year MuseumNext will focus on ‘What’s Next’ and will use this call for papers to create a programme that is structured around eight key themes. These will be directed by the proposals submitted from our community to highlight the direction in which museums and technology are heading. […] Proposals should, in no more than 300 words, outline your presentation, including
– The title
– Name or names of those presenting
– Organisation
– Key themes which your presentation relates to
– An overview of your presentation
– Relevant links
– What you expect delegates to learn from your session.
An international peer panel will consider all proposals and we shall inform all those, successful or otherwise of the decision by December 15th 2012. The decision of the panel is final.
Your 300 word proposal should be emailed along with the names and contact details of those who will make the presentation to proposals (at) museumnext.org no later than November 1st 2012.”
