Museums and the Web Asia 2013 Conference

Hong Kong

December 9 – December 12, 2013

Museums and the Web (MW) launched the Museums and the Web Asia 2013
website and opened the call for proposals for the 2nd Hong Kong
conference which will be held Dec 9-12, 2013 at the Sheraton Hong Kong
Hotel and Towers.  http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com

You can submit a proposal at:
http://mwa2013.museumsandtheweb.com/submit-proposal/

There are many ways to participate in Museums and the Web Asia:

Deadline June 30, 2013

• Offer a Pre-conference Workshop: Are you an expert in your field?
Share your expertise by leading a half-day or full-day pre-conference
workshop! Workshops are held the day before the conference begins and
workshop leaders are compensated for their teaching. No written paper
is required.

• Present a Formal Paper: Share your leading work in the field through
a written paper (required, up to 5,000 words) and an oral presentation
in a conference session (approx. 20 min. plus discussion). All formal
papers are published on the Museums and the Web site, and selected
papers are published in the eBook and printed proceedings of the
conference.

• Teach a How-to Session (a one-hour workshop): You have one hour to
demonstrate and teach a practical skill or best practices for a museum
topic. A written version of your session (required, up to 2,500 words)
will be published on the Museums and the Web site to serve as an
on-going reference both for attendees of your session and others.

Deadline July 31, 2013

• Demonstrate your project and explain the designs and the decisions
that went into it to colleagues in an exhibit-booth setting.
Demonstrations are only open to museum professionals and projects
created in a non-profit environment. Commercial organizations are
invited to demonstrate their products and projects in Exhibitor
Insights.

• Give a Lightning Talk, Pecha Kucha-style, in a 1.5 hour session that
includes 6 lightning talks of 7 minutes each plus plenty of time for
questions and discussion. Slides and recordings of the lightning talks
will be published online, and presenters are invited to blog about
their topics (up to 1,000 words) on the MWA site.

Deadline October 31, 2013

• Exhibit your commercial products and services in the Exhibit Hall
(we have a very limited amount of slots for this and space will be
assigned first come first serve) and as an exhibitor and vendor to
museums, share your Exhibitor Insights on recent projects, new
commercial products and best practices learned from working with
organizations across the museum field and beyond. We are looking for
engaging and innovative formats for the Exhibitor Insights, including
“pechu kucha” style “parades” (see, for example, the MW2013 Mobile
Parade), short workshops, and expert panels: send us suggestions for
your presentation!  For Exhibiting space, please contact Hiroko Kusano

During the Conference

• Participate in a “Birds of a Feather” round-table: lead the
discussion or dip into several while enjoying breakfast with
colleagues. Topics are proposed by participants during the MWA
conference in the run-up to the breakfast.

• Be there: the best part of MWA is always meeting informally with
some of the most creative and innovative museum professionals from
around the world and enjoying the warmth and generosity of this
community. Join us!
