Hi everyone. There's still time to join this free ASTC Connect discussion forum. Hope to see you there!

*****************************************

What factors have contributed to attendance patterns in recent years, and what might we expect in years to come? From June 18-20, ASTC Connect will host an online discussion forum entitled Attendance Trends: Ten Years Past and Into the Future, moderated by the ASTC Research Advisors Group. The forum will look at science center attendance trends over the past 10 years, identify internal and external factors that impact attendance, and discuss "next steps" that can be taken by centers to grow attendance.

To join the forum, go to ASTC Connect, http://connect.astc.org/, log in to your account, click All Courses, and select "Attendance Trends: Ten Years Past and Into the Future Moderated by the ASTC Research Advisors Group" to join.
