The Pennsylvania Federation of Museums and Historical Organizations seeks 2012 Annual Conference proposals. Our conference will be held in Carlisle, PA, April 2-3, 2012.
Pennsylvania’s cultural community is rich and diverse. Museums, galleries, zoos, science centers, visitor centers, historic sites, monuments, parks, libraries, archives, and educational institutions contribute to a new economy of ideas in the Commonwealth. We invite you to join together with us for our 2012 conference to share best practices in advocacy, economic and community development, education, and cultural tourism.
We are seeking conference session proposals for Joining For Strength, Advocating For Good that fit into this over-arching idea that we are in this together. We are interested in stories and presentations that touch upon:
• Beneficial partnerships, mergers, and collaborations
• How social media has introduced new ways to work together
• Successful programming in changing communities
• Advocacy that ties the cultural community together
• Initiatives and opportunities to share resources
• New technologies that strengthen the cultural community
The deadline for proposals is November 1, 2011. The submission form is available on the conference website.
