Many of the talks are related to The Participatory Museum and I will have books for sale on all of these forays. I'm giving a free talk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on the evening of the 22nd, and then a free workshop on the 23rd at the National Postal Museum on designing better mechanisms for visitor feedback and response.

This year, the American Association of Museums annual conference was in Los Angeles (my hometown). This session was participatory in several ways, including interactive music-making machines in the audience and half the time reserved for Q&A. This post recaps those sessions and other personal highlights of the conference.
