ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Soon two of the big museum conferences, The Association of Children's  
Museums (ACM) and The American Association of Museums (AAM) will be  
taking place in Denver. And many, if not most, of the presenters at  
both these conferences will be packing a laptop loaded with  
PowerPoint presentations.

"Why are some of the most creative people in the world using such  
powerful computer technology to present such boring, non-interactive  
speeches?"

As noted on the ExhibiTricks blog: <http://blog.orselli.net/2008/04/ 
want-better-museum-conferences-how.html>  there are some interesting  
alternatives.

Feel free to add your comments and suggestions on how to make the  
museum conferences more engaging.

And, if you are attending either AAM or ACM, please consider offering  
the suggestion for "A Day Without PowerPoint" on every evaluation  
form you turn in!
