The Visitor Studies Association is today's premier professional
organization focusing on all facets of the visitor experience in
museums, zoos, nature centers, visitor centers, historic sites, parks
and other informal learning environments. For nearly two decades our
conferences have been at the forefront of the field, providing tools and
inspiration to better understand, attract, educate and serve visitors.

The theme for the 20th Annual Visitor Studies Association Conference is
Evaluation and Diversity: Listening to Many Voices. The conference,
which will be held in Ottawa, Canada, from July 17 - 21, will explore
how research and evaluation can help cultural institutions include and
consider the voices of new and diverse audiences to improve service to
their communities. We invite you to share your knowledge and expertise. 

*	Session Proposals - Sessions and Posters will be presented
during Thursday, Friday and Saturday (July 19, 20 and 21) of the
conference. For more information and a session proposal form, please go
