MCN/CIMI 2001
Real Life: Virtual Experiences
New Connections for Museum Visitors
October 24-27, 2001
Westin Hotel, Cincinnati, OH
MCN/CIMI Joint Conference Explores Key Applications that Shape Museum
Visitors' Experience
A New Kind of Conference for a New Kind of World
http://www.mcn.edu/mcn2001/index.htm
SECOND GENERATION HAND-HELD DEVICES...IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENTS....WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGIES...SMART ARCHITECTURE...RICH MULTIMEDIA...USER-CENTERED =
DESIGN.
All these and many other applications are transforming the visitor
experience. And now MCN and the CIMI Institute have joined forces to =
explore
them in a conference appropriate to the 21st century. It will be one of =
the
most engaging gatherings of museum professionals in years. It will also
offer a whole lot more than just sitting and listening--because we've
designed three distinct environments that will allow you to:
Learn from key experts in sessions tailored to the theme
Do nifty things in hands-on workshops
Discuss with your colleagues in affinity group meetings
