Mutual Concerns of Air and Space Museums Conference

Mutual Concerns is a unique international meeting specifically focused on the needs of the air and space museum community. The conference features general sessions, panel discussions, and presentations, with topics covering air and space history, conservation, exhibit design, fundraising, and marketing. Sessions offer everything from practical, in-depth information to timely tricks of the trade. The conference is also an opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world. Join us this year and help your organization soar.

The 2010 conference is set for Saturday, March 27 – Tuesday, March 30, 2010 in Washington, DC. We are currently finalizing hotel arrangements for the meeting and lodging. Conference fees will be similar to previous years (around $375 with discounts for early and multiple registrations). STAY TUNED. More information will be posted on this site soon. The full agenda will be provided on the site at the end of the year and online registration begins January 2010.

At this time, we are calling for proposals for the 2010 agenda. You are encouraged to submit your ideas for sessions at the conference with the 2010 Proposal Form. All submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the committee in the fall of 2009 and all submitters will be notified on the status of their proposal by the end of the year. If you have questions about an idea or submitting your proposal, please contact a Program Committee Member or call Jean DeStefano 202-633-2388 or e-mail her at nasmmutualconcerns@si.edu.

2010 Program Committee

Mutual Concerns hosts a small exhibitor forum called the "Marketplace," featuring vendors that offer services and products of interest to museum professionals. Every year, we welcome back some familiar sponsors with new information and seek a few different exhibitors to add to our forum, so each year our attendees are able to get the latest information on areas that interest them. We integrate the Marketplace throughout our conference and events so our attendees and exhibitors have ample time to meet and talk in a relaxed atmosphere. For information on Marketplace opportunities, please contact Jean DeStefano at 202-633-2388 or e-mail nasmmutualconcerns@si.edu. If you are an attendee and would like to see a specific vendor attend the Marketplace, please contact Jean.
