Museums and the Web 2011 (MW2011)

Museums and the Web is an annual conference exploring the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on-line. Taking an international perspective, MW reviews and analyzes the issues and impacts of networked cultural, natural and scientific heritage – wherever the network may reach.

We've been meeting since 1997, imagining, tracking, analyzing, and influencing the role museums play on the Web, and having fun doing it.

The MW Program
MW features plenary sessions, parallel sessions, un-conferences, museum project demonstrations, exhibits, mini-workshops, professional forums, two design 'Crit Rooms', + the Best of the Web awards.

Prior to the conference, there are full-day + half-day pre-conference workshops and a day of pre-conference tours.
