DEADLINE REMINDER!
This is a final reminder that the deadline for the Visitor Studies Group
2016 Conference Call for Proposals is THIS FRIDAY (18th September)!
Also, please find below details of another specific call for proposals for an event in Manchester in November.
The 2016 VSG conference which will be held on 16th and 17th March 2016 at the Royal Geographical Society, London and the theme for the conference is "Visitor Studies: It's what you do with it!"
We want the 2016 Conference to explore how to communicate research and evaluation findings internally and externally so that they lead to change, have real impact and lift the profile of visitor studies.
We welcome submissions from members who can share success stories with our delegates but also those submissions which provide honest accounts of where a study may not have gone as well as expected and where disseminating findings did not have the hoped-for impact. We can provide more intimate session formats if this feels more appropriate.
Please visit http://visitors.org.uk/call-for-proposals-2016/ for a proposal form and more detail of some of the issues we hope to address and proposal types we are looking for.
Manchester "Access" Event
Following the success and feedback from our "Access all Areas?" event last year in Edinburgh, we are excited to offer a similar session in Manchester that focuses on access and accessibility within the cultural sector.
Aimed at people who work in visitor studies, learning and engagement, "Access All Areas?" will take a deeper look at current projects and training and discuss new challenges and resolutions to physical, sensory and intellectual barriers.
This also marks our first VSG event in Manchester and we are delighted it will be hosted at the Whitworth on Wednesday 11th November 2015.
A proposal form for this event can be found at http://visitors.org.uk/access-all-areas2-call-for-papers/ and the deadline for this event is Monday 28th September.
