Call for Papers: MuseumNext Barcelona
MuseumNext is Europe's big conference on social and digital media within the museum sector. Technology is changing the expectations of museum audiences. They no longer want to have information just broadcasted at them, they want to create, to curate and to co-produce experiences.

In keeping with the participatory philosophy, MuseumNext is now inviting members of our community to propose presentations for their conference in Barcelona on the themes Digital Participation, Digital Marketing and Digital Challenges.
Presentations should last fifteen minutes, delivering thought provoking insight, showcasing successful projects, revealing 'how to' or even sharing stories of when things have gone wrong. At the end of each session those listening should be able to take away real actionable advice which they can use within their own organisations.
In addition to these presentations, we also invite proposals for workshops which can be either 45 minutes or 1 hour 45 minutes on the three conference themes. These should teach participants new skills or technology in a fun and informative format.
Proposals should be no more than 300 words outlining your suggested presentation or workshop session, including title, author, key themes, examples, links and what you expect delegates to take away from your session.
The decision of the panel is final. Your 300 word proposal should be emailed along with the names and contact details of those who will make the presentation or workshop to info@museumnext.org no later than December 15th 2011.
In 2012 MuseumNext will be held in Barcelona, in partnership with three of Spain's leading museums, Centre de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona (CCCB), Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) and Museu Picasso de Barcelona.
