I just returned from AAM's annual meeting. This conference is particularly interesting to me because it brings together a nice mix of professionals from a variety of museums, including science centers, libraries, historical museums, art museums, and small community-based museums.
I recapped my experience using Storify, but some highlights were definitely the discussions around maker spaces and hacking the museum. I love that museums are increasingly moving in a direction towards involving communities in production-focused activities and this year in particular it seemed that some skeptics about this movement were being swayed.
