There are also workshops, pre-conference tours, evening events, and many other opportunities to network with museum colleagues. The WMA is also proud to launch a new programmatic feature: *WestMusings | Ten Minute Museum Talks!* Based on TED Talks? model, WestMusings is an unconference program of short, rehearsed, and engaging presentations on museum related topics.
