\nAre conservation professionals innovators? We think so. From developing new approaches to conservation treatment and preventive care, to\u00a0utilizing cutting-edge technological research, to examining how cultural heritage is defined and valued, conservation professionals are innovative, dynamic, forward-looking agents of change.\u00a0And, how does collaboration with related fields and allied professionals influence the dynamics of the conservation \u2013 innovation process? We seek papers that explore all types of new work: practical, method-focused treatment projects; advances in collections care and management; discoveries in conservation science; and conservation initiatives that intentionally have a positive impact on communities.\u00a0 In 2019, let\u2019s come together to share new ideas for solving conservation and collections care problems large and small.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
\nDo you have an idea related to \u201cNew tools, techniques, and tactics in conservation and collection care\u201d\u00a0that would make a great, topic-centered concurrent general session? If so, please email AIC Vice President and General Session Program Chair Suzanne Davis at\u00a0davissl@umich.edu<\/a>. Include a tentative title, the program format, and a brief description of what subject(s) will be addressed; multi-disciplinary topics are encouraged. Members proposing sessions must be willing to serve on the General Session Program Committee. The deadline for submissions is June 28, 2018. For questions or to learn more, write Suzanne.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
\nDo you have an idea for a pre-session event that is not exactly a workshop or tour? If so, please let us know! Just email AIC Meetings and Advocacy Director Ruth Seyler at\u00a0rseyler@conservation-us.org<\/a>\u00a0with your thoughts on pre-session events. Calls for tours and workshops have gone out separately, but in case you missed those, please send them along to Ruth.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
