Shalom, We are affiliates of AIC, and if someone wanted to present a paper on conservation, I'd be happy to swap my affiliate registration spot with you.
Kol tuv, Jackie Dear Mrs. Jackie Benefraim, The American Institute for Conservation’s 48th Annual Meeting will be held in Salt Lake City, UT, May 19-23, 2020. Pre-sessions will take place on May 19 and 20, and will consist of workshops, seminars, and study tours. The main conference on May 21-23 will feature general and specialty sessions focused on the following theme: “*Conservation - Reactive and Proactive”* We work in a rapidly changing world. Globally, the economy is volatile, the marketplace demanding, and the negative impact of climate change looms large in conservation. Many collecting institutions have shifted their priorities to preventive conservation for collections and interactive learning in exhibitions, which can decrease emphasis on traditional conservation treatment and the supremacy of original display materials. Conservation professionals are drawing from a wide skill set to respond to these challenges in creative and productive ways. From offering conservation services that go beyond treatment, to focusing on sustainability, to utilizing materials science and technical art history in public education, our field is adapting and evolving. In 2020, we’ll explore ways we can anticipate and embrace change. How are you meeting your biggest challenges? Please join us to share your triumphs and reflect on areas for growth. ------------------------------ *Call for Concurrent General Session Topics and Session Organizers – Act by July 2nd!* Do you have an idea – related to *Conservation: Reactive and Proactive *– that would make a great concurrent general session, and are you willing to serve as the session’s chair? Do you have an idea for a half-day or full-day pre-session seminar? If so, please contact AIC Vice-President and General Session Program Chair Suzanne Davis at davi...@umich.edu <davi...@umich.edu>. Include a proposed title, length and format (for pre-sessions), and a brief description of the topics to be covered. Multi-disciplinary topics are encouraged. Those proposing a sub-topic for a concurrent general session must be willing to serve on the General Session Program Committee. Please email your ideas to Suzanne Davis by *July 2, 2019.* ------------------------------ *2020 Call for Presentations for Main Conference* AIC is seeking abstracts for four separate Calls for Presentations for the 2020 annual meeting. All abstracts should be no more than 500 words with a separate 300-word biography. The four calls include: *Opening General Session* – for 2020 we are seeking short, idea-focused talks that address the concept of *Navigating Change. *Following a format begun in 2019, these 12-minute talks should include only a few slides in a style similar to TED talks. We hope to feature talks from a diversity of voices and perspectives, addressing big-picture issues in conservation and collections care. Please note that submitting an idea-focused talk to the opening session does not preclude submission of a separate abstract to the concurrent general sessions or to the specialty group sessions. *Concurrent General Session, Specialty Session, and Poster Session *– *Abstracts *submitted to the main conference for *concurrent* or *specialty/network sessions *should conform to AIC's standard arrangement of no more than 2 speakers presenting in a 30-minute time slot. If you would like your abstract to be considered for a poster presentation, *you must select “poster” as one of your choices in the abstract form*. Unless you are submitting a topic only for consideration as a poster, please select poster as your third choice. For abstracts submitted only to the poster session, please select “poster” for all choices. The review of poster abstracts follows the review of talk abstracts. *Workshops *– Workshops can be a half day, full day, or two days long and may take place in a conference center meeting room or in a lab/facility at a cultural institution in Salt Lake City. Preference will be given to proposals that have clear learning outcomes for conservation professionals and that involve discussions, demonstrations, and practical interactions appropriate to achieve those goals. *Pre-meeting or Lunch-time Sessions *– AIC also considers topics for a half-day pre-meeting session or for 60- to 90-minute panel presentations that don’t really fit in the other categories for pre-sessions or lunchtime programing. ------------------------------ All abstracts are due by 11:59 pm on Monday, September 16, 2019. Please check the call for submissions webpage regularly for updated information. The abstract submission portal will be open in late July.
