Conference design and speakers
This 2.5-day international conference will provide inspiring discussions and productive interactions between conference organisers, local museums and cultural institutions, conference participants and facilitators. This approach offers a role model of organisers' vision of how museums can connect with their multiple audiences. There will be a minimum of talking heads and a maximum of participant engagement. Organisers seek to create a facilitating and stimulating atmosphere with a strong dialogical approach. Participants will gain relevant experiences and insight for their professional practice. Speakers include, among others:- John Falk, Director, Institute for Learning Innovation, Oregon, US
- Lynn Dirking, Professor Free-Choice Learning, Oregon State University, US
- Oona Strathern, Futurist based in Vienna and Germany, Ireland
- David Anderson, Director, National Museums Wales, UK
- Lisa Baxter, The Experience Business, Halifax, UK
- Charlie Trautmann, Director Emeritus, Sciencecenter, Ithaka, New York, US
