Museums Australia National Conference

Here I am at the Museums Australia National Conference in sunny Brisbane where I plan to blog live from the conference – time and technology permitting!

However, a few short notes on the proceedings. The conference yesterday focused on regional and remote museums. Many of the speakers talked about the importance of establishing networks and partnerships. Another speaker, Sam Ham, focused on interpretation. This was quite inspiring, with Sam suggesting that museums should focus less on visitors remembering facts and more on provoking thought.

Time is running short, but one little thing before I go, it is interesting that so far, I have not heard anything on either museums using blogs or podcasts!

Good to hear you're having a good time, Lisa! Maybe you should introduce your blog to the tech-savvy at the conference!

Yep, I introduced it to a few people. Not many though - I was too busy chatting about other stuff!

It was a shame I didn't get round to blogging from the conference (cept for this measly post!). Next year the conference's theme is technology, so hopefully they will have better facilities to access the internet etc.

I'm also interested in hearing from anyone who was also at the conference...anyone??

It's not too late, if you set up your blog at Flickr, so that you can post both photo and blog entry at MODE via mobile phone!
