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

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

We look forward to your participation!
