Washington, DC

How far have we come! The Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM) is 
pleased to announce the fifth annual Building Museums Symposium in 
Washington, D.C., February 26-28, 2009. The event will be hosted at some of 
Washington's most celebrated museums including the National Building 
Museum, the newly renovated National Museum of American History, and the 
recently opened Newseum.

MAAM is seeking proposals for sessions that will engage museum professionals, 
architects, planners, and other technical experts in a dynamic exchange of 
ideas about key issues for museum building projects. Symposium participants 
will enjoy opportunities to meet and learn from the professionals impacting 
museum construction projects today. Program content will reflect museums of 
various sizes, disciplines, budgets, collections-orientation, and scope of 
building projects.

Building Museums Symposium 2009 is organized under three interrelated 
themes:

* Day 1: Vision (planning your building project),

* Day 2: Implementation (making your vision a reality)

* Day 3: Sustainability ("life after opening the doors")

Museum staff and board members, students and professionals from various 
areas of expertise related to museum building projects are invited to 
participate. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please complete the 
form available at: http://www.midatlanticmuseums.org/buildingmuseums.html 
no later than October 15, 2008. For further information and questions, please 
send an e-mail to the proposal coordinator at [log in to unmask] We 
look forward to hearing from you!

Note: Attendee registration will open on December 15, 2008.  Please check

We look forward to your participation!
