All year long, you've been tapping into the incredible insights and experience of the MCN community through its Email Listserv, Website and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Now's your chance to meet up with all those brilliant colleagues in person at MCN's 2010 conference: Oct 27-30, 2010 in Austin, Texas - Live Music Capital of the World! Submit your proposals online at http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=2778 by Monday May 3, 2010 This year's innovative program has two great opportunities to get involved: 1. Papers, panels, round-tables, workshops and showcases on the theme of I/O: The Museum Inside-Out/Outside-In http://mcn2010.pbworks.com/Conference-Sessions 2. And if your proposal doesn't fit there, why not organize a session in our "slow un-conference" Seizing the Tiger by the Longtail http://mcn2010.pbworks.com/Slow+Un-conference [So just what is an un-conference?
