Seeking Session Proposals for 2010

South Carolina Federation of Museums Conference



Thank you for helping to make the 2010 Conference an informative and
rejuvenating experience for all of us!  Please send your proposals to Becky
Slayton by October 1, 2009 - scha at spartanburghistory.org or PO Box 887,
Spartanburg, SC  29306


Attached is the Session Proposal Form for the 2010 conference in Greenville.
 Our theme for the conference is *Museum Tales: What’s Your Story?*  We are
focusing on interpretation from all perspectives.  This does not limit the
topics to docent training or first person presentations.  Curators,
administrators, educators, conservators, fundraisers, etc. all have an
essential role in the way museums and sites can tell the story of their
collection, their area, and their subject.  We would like to have sessions
that discuss and present best practices from all museum disciplines and
specialties, so send us a proposal to share your story!



Below are possible session topics - we may suggest collaborations among
submitters if there is topic overlap.



Some General Session Topics:

 Program evaluation / visitor studies

Disaster preparedness
Conservation / preservation

Internal/external collaborations

Controversial subjects

Marketing and branding

Exhibition techniques
