Elizabeth Ellen Merritt has blogged about the ecological cost of conferences at the Center for the Future of Museums blog. Her latest post on one of the projects that she has inspired at #wma09 San Diego follows, "...speculating that in the future our consciences (not to mention our pocketbooks) will make us think three or four times before winging or wheeling our way across the country or the...

Hi, I'm Steve Tokar, and I'd like to invite you to a couple of San Diego Conference sessions that we've organized on the topic of visitor comfort.
Here's what we mean by comfort. The last time you and your family visited a museum, could you find your way around easily? Were there enough places to sit? Were the labels readable? Were there multiple/alternate ways to enjoy and learn? Were the...
