Proposals for conference presentations are invited from members of the
Queensland museum and gallery community. Presentation types will include
poster sessions, collaborative panels and individual papers. All
presentations should relate to the conference theme.

 

The Conference theme is Contemporary Collecting and Communication. This is a
M&GSQ state conference on museums, galleries, collections and communities.
It is conceived as a state wide opportunity, 4 years on from the first
combined MAQ/RGAQ conference held in Mooloolaba 2003. Sub themes may
include:

.         Pros and cons of convergence and collaborations (eg
cultural/heritage precincts, museums, galleries, libraries, archives,
performance spaces, interpretation/visitor centres, arts incubators and
other non-collecting organisations)

.         Contribution to public debate and quality of life

.         Cross disciplinary centres of learning and engagement

.         Impact of new technologies

.         Collecting for the future now

All proposals will be considered by the conference organisers and you will
be notified if your proposal is accepted for the conference program.
