	Day 2
	Registration & sessions at the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center

	7:00 a.m.	Continental breakfast provided

	8:00 - 9:45 a.m.	Opening Plenary Session: Welcome Military Museum Presentation Speakers: - Lin Ezell, Director, National Museum of the Marine Corps - Maj. Gen. Charles D. Metcalf, Director, National Museum of the United States Air Force - Capt. Robert L. Rasmussen, Director, National Museum of Naval Aviation Chair: - Ted Maxwell, Associate Director of Collections and Research, National Air and Space Museum America's military aviation museums are at the heart of artifact management, museum development and restoration practices for all of us. During this session, the leadership from the National Museums of the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps will offer their insights into exhibit development, ongoing restorations, current programs and future vision for their museums and their collections. This session promises to be a lively look at the national military aviation collections located in Dayton, Pensacola, and Quantico.

	9:45 - 10:00 a.m.	Break

	10:00 - 11:15 a.m.	Visitor Attraction or Museum? Change your Thinking and Increase Attendance Speakers: - Miranda Prescott, Visitor Services Manager, Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour - Sandy Ward, Marketing Director, Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour Chair: - Barry Smith, Executive Director, Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour Gone are the days when a museum's only purpose is to be the gatekeeper of history and objects. In order for some to thrive, there needs to be new thinking on what they are. If you think of your facility as a visitor attraction, a world of possibilities opens up for increasing your attendance and deepening the experience that visitors have when they visit. Thinking of yourself as a visitor attraction aligns you with your state tourism department, the local tourism agencies and, most importantly, the tour operators and tourism industry. With a clear definition, your work with the media is clear, pointed, informed, and successful. And when you get the visitors in the door, how will you welcome them? Learn how, with a small investment, you can boast a Visitor Information Desk that will attract volunteers, local tourism dollars, state hotel taxes, and establish you as a true Visitor Information Center. --- OR --- Appropriate Selection and Treatment of Aircraft Fabric Coverings Speakers: - Andrew Pearce, Large Technology Conservator, Australian War Memorial - John White, Senior Curator, Technology - Aircraft, Australian War Memorial Chair: - Christopher Knapp, Conservation Manager, Imperial War Museum Fabric-covered aircraft present challenges to museums. Fabric replacement is expensive and demanding on time and expertise. The selection of a fabric system should be guided by a clear understanding of relevant issues. All choices come with advantages and disadvantages. Modern synthetics are readily available, but unproven in the long term, and their use may alter the visual appearance of an aircraft. Organic coverings treated with cellulose-nitrate and cellulose-butyrate present issues like shrinkage rate, chemical stability and flammability. Based on research from the Australian War Memorial, the USA, Canada and the UK, presenters will provide the pros and cons of material choices. They will also offer guidance on factors that should be considered when selecting a particular system to use in the re-application of fabric to an aircraft.

	11:15 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.	Lunch and free time

	12:45 - 2:00 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Taking the Museum to the Classroom through Distance Learning Speakers: - Stewart Bailey, Deputy Director - Education, Air Zoo - Phil Camillo, President, Camillo Consulting Chair: - Robert E. Ellis, Executive Director, Air Zoo Education through outreach takes on an entirely new dimension with the use of available technology. This technology allows museums to reach audiences never before possible. Museum educators need to think beyond current programming if they want to be a viable resource for aviation education in the future. This session explores how the Air Zoo created a web based, electronic curriculum outreach program that teachers can utilize to bring aviation education to the student, either in the classroom or at their home. The program includes both pre-testing and post-testing which provides a much-needed method for program evaluation. Part of the curriculum development was the result of a teacher's advocacy program that will also be utilized to market the program to Michigan schools. --- OR --- Developing a Working Relationship between an Air Museum and an Affiliated Aviation Organization Speakers: - Cheryl Dart, Membership Manager, Museum of Flight - Harold Rubin, Public Programs Coordinator, Museum of Flight Chair: - Mike Lavelle, Director of Development, Museum of Flight Learn how to communicate and interface with historic organizations to develop public programs and traveling educational exhibits; expand national support groups; record oral histories; produce historic bulletins; expand the organization's Web site; and develop the transition plan to preserve the organization's legacy. This session will describe the actions and strategies used to preserve the legacy of the American Fighter Aces Association.

	2:00 - 2:15 p.m.	Break

	2:15 - 3:30 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Smithsonian-National Mall Signage Program: Promoting Your Museum through Photography and Computer Graphics Speakers: - Susan Cassabon, Exhibits Designer, National Air and Space Museum - Eric Long, Senior Photographer, National Air and Space Museum Chair: - Alex Spencer, Museum Specialist, National Air and Space Museum This session will cover the essentials of taking publication-quality photographs of museum artifacts, and incorporating photos through computer graphics into promotional materials for the web, brochures, posters and other visual formats. The photography discussion will include a session on lighting, with a discussion of pre-visualization of subject matter and the use of controlled lighting to achieve a desired look and composition. The computer graphics portion will focus on converting photographs into promotional materials using Photoshop. Participants will learn a basic approach to taking photographs and using design and Photoshop to further the museum experience to their audience. Session will include visual examples of before and after photos, along with the "how to" discussions. --- OR --- Relocating and Growing a Museum and its Education Department: The Strategic Air & Space Museum Speaker: - Evan Killeen, Director of Education, Strategic Air & Space Museum - Steve Prall, Deputy Director, Strategic Air & Space Museum Chair: - Jane Welsh, Education Curator, College Park Aviation Museum In 1959, the first plane for the Strategic Air & Space Museum's collection arrived at Offutt AFB in Omaha, Nebraska. The collection grew over the next 35+ years. In 1998, after a capital campaign, the Museum moved its entire collection of aircraft to a location approximately 35 miles away in a newly constructed 330,000 square-foot building. In 2000, the Education Department was established and programming was designed. In six short years the programming has grown to serve over 25,000 students per year in a variety of formats. This session will discuss the history of the Strategic Air & Space Museum and its Education Department's struggles, rapid growth and success in programming. Most of the department's difficulties are commonly experienced by other museums around the country. An examination of their solutions can be applied to the benefit other institutions.

	3:30 - 3:45 p.m.	Break

	3:45 - 5:00 p.m.	Plenary Session: The End of an Era: Acquiring Artifacts from the Space Shuttle Program Speakers: - Valerie Neal, Curator, Space History Division, National Air and Space Museum - Glenda Patrick, Program Manager, Property Disposal, National Aeronautics and Space Administration - F. James Remar, Senior Vice President, Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center Chair: - Martin J. Collins, Curator, Division of Space History, National Air and Space Museum The end of the space shuttle program in 2010 presents an extraordinary opportunity for museums to enhance their collections and exhibitions. Not since the Apollo era ended will so much spaceflight hardware be available for transfer as excess property from NASA to museums and other educational entities. It is not too soon to begin preparing. Panelists will offer practical perspectives on acquiring artifacts from the space shuttle program and will walk thorough a framework for identifying historic shuttle artifacts; explain NASA's disposition plan for shuttle program property; and outline strategies for collecting shuttle program items. The presentation will offer guidance for questions like: What shuttle program property will be released and how is NASA planning to dispose of it? What categories and significance will the property include? Which are artifacts? Which is scrap? How does a museum plan strategically to build a coherent collection of shuttle program artifacts? A lively Q & A period is anticipated.

	9:45 - 11:15 a.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Developing Effective Interactives Speakers: - Tim Grove, Education Specialist, National Air and Space Museum - Blake Reid, Education Specialist, National Air and Space Museum Chair: - Jennifer McIntosh, Discovery Station Program Coordinator, National Air and Space Museum Exhibition interactives, whether computer or mechanical, are essential components of many exhibitions. They reach a variety of learners and create active learning opportunities within the context of an exhibition. A good interactive does not need to be complex or expensive, but it does need to be focused, and it is often not easy to develop. Participants will discuss what makes a good interactive, how the disciplines of history and science result in different styles of interactives and what topics lend themselves to an interactive format. There will also be time for brainstorming. --- OR --- Restoring National Air and Space Museum Artifacts Speakers: - Scott Marchand, Director of Collections & Aircraft Restoration, Arizona Aerospace Foundation - Greg Ward, Senior Curator of Aircraft, Air Zoo Chair: - Dik Daso, Curator, Modern Military Aircraft, National Air and Space Museum The thought of restoring artifacts for the National Air and Space Museum can seem daunting. This session will deal with the requirements and expectations of both NASM and a receiving museum. The session will present a detailed look the restoration of the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender by the Air Zoo for the NASM and how both institutions collaborated to assure the historic value of the aircraft was not altered.

	11:15 - 11:30 a.m.	Break

	11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Museum or Party Venue? Speakers: - Gil Geddes, Group Sales Manager, Frontiers of Flight Museum - Melissa Paris, Director of Special Events, San Diego Air & Space Museum Chair: - Bruce A. Bleakley, Vice President for Program Development, Frontiers of Flight Museum Many museums augment operating revenue though facility rental to outside organizations--either fellow non-profits or commercial entities looking for a unique party venue. This practice raises important questions: How often will you inconvenience your visitors to let caterers set up during operating hours? How often will you close the museum for a major event? Can you ensure the security of your artifacts? These events can bring new audiences to the facility, generate new business relationships and increase public awareness of the museum, but they must be balanced with the accomplishment of the primary mission and not degrade the status of the museum. Participants will learn techniques to maximize the financial and promotional benefits of outside rentals while staying focused on the museum's primary mission. Participants should come away with a sense of criteria and limits to apply to these situations to avoid jeopardizing their museum's status as a serious institution. --- OR --- Beyond the Label: Building an Aircraft Exhibit and Presenting History Speakers: - Jeff Duford, Historian, Research Division, National Museum of the United States Air Force - Scott Bradley, Collection Management Specialist, Collection Division, National Museum of the United States Air Force - John Luchin III, Exhibit Design Specialist, Exhibit Division, National Museum of the United States Air Force Chair: - TBD This session will discuss the creation of a National Museum of the United States Air Force exhibit that features a newly restored P-47D and presents the story of the ground attack mission of the 9th Air Force during World War II. The session will offer step-by-step instructions for building an exhibit that stresses the importance of telling a meaningful story and the history around an airplane, instead of simply displaying an aircraft with a label listing how much horsepower its engine has. The exhibit developers will share their view on the artifact as part of a backdrop for a larger story about real people and real events. They will outline what needs to be done to develop this type of exhibit and share problems they faced and compromises they made to accommodate the realities of budget, physical space, staffing, and time.

	1:00 - 2:30 p.m.	Lunch provided Lunch Presentation: Antarctica and Apollo: Heritage Horizons Speaker: - Bryan Lintott, Director, Ferrymead Heritage Park Chair: - Dorothy S. Cochrane, Curator, Aeronautics Division, National Air and Space Museum Great Antarctic explorers, such as Scott, Shackleton and Byrd, established bases and explored the outer limits, leaving a legacy of sites, artifacts, knowledge and inspiration. The physical and cultural remains of their endeavors, on "The Ice" and elsewhere, are similar to those of the race to the moon. This session will examine these "heritage horizons" based on current developments and research in Antarctica. Using lessons from Antarctic aerospace heritage, a range of legal, political, environmental, cultural and practical issues relating to terra/lunar nullius sites and associated artifacts will be discussed. While focusing on "heritage horizons", the session will provide stimulating reference points on a range of contemporary issues in aerospace, such as geographical distribution of related items, in situ conservation versus a museum environment, research versus "treasure hunting." Participants will gain an overview of Antarctic aviation history and an understanding of the political, legal and management issues involved in the conservation of related artifacts and sites. The session will explore how these matters relate to Apollo and other space-related extraterrestrial and terrestrial artifacts and sites.

	2:30 - 4:00 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Public Relations, Marketing and Community Outreach: Enhancing a Museum's Image through Community Partnerships Speakers: - Peter Golkin, Public Affairs Specialist, National Air and Space Museum - Frank McNally, Public Affairs Specialist, National Air and Space Museum Chair: - TBD With limited funding and increased competition, it is vital that museums everywhere look to their local community for publicity and support. Museums must build and maintain strong relationships with their local stakeholders --- neighbors, community leaders, area businesses, media outlets, and local, state and federal government officials -- in order to thrive. This session will explore different types of community partnerships and initiatives, from media and event sponsorships, to cross-promotions, to customer relationship marketing (CRM) and corporate social marketing initiatives. The speakers will draw upon past research, case studies, and their own experiences in community public relations to illustrate the ways in which a museum can benefit from this type of approach. --- OR --- Saving Historic Aircraft: Challenges and Choices Speaker: - Tania Collas, Conservator, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Chair: - Scott Marchand, Director of Collections & Aircraft Restoration, Arizona Aerospace Foundation This session explores the difficult decisions often faced by those responsible for the care of historic aircraft: How can we best preserve the aircraft's true historic significance? When is a conservative preservation-minded approach most appropriate? When is extensive restoration the best choice? In truth, there are no easy answers. The most appropriate path for saving a historic aircraft often depends on its particular circumstances -- its age, condition, uniqueness, and function within the institution. This session will offer case studies and discussion that may help participants make decision about preserving historic aircraft in their institutions.

	4:00 - 4:15 p.m.	Break

	4:15 - 5:45 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Applying Museum Conservation Standards to Large-Scale Aerospace Artifact Projects Speakers: - Patricia Miller, Senior Conservator, Conservation Solutions, Inc. - Joseph Sembrat, President, Conservation Solutions, Inc. Chair: - F. James Remar, Senior Vice President, Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center This session will discuss the conservation of two Saturn V Rockets (Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas and US Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, Alabama) and detail the challenges in developing a treatment plan for large and complex aerospace artifacts using conservation standards delineated in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation and the AIC's Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice. The presenters will demonstrate how all such challenges can be overcome through historical research, condition assessments, comprehensive testing and analysis programs, and the teaming of conservator experts from several different industries. Participants will learn the importance of undertaking an in-depth conditions assessment as soon as possible in the construction process to fully understand the conditions of their artifacts, the factors that influence the artifacts conditions, and the means and methods to properly treat their collection. Finally, the participants will be apprised of cutting edge technology that will provide them with alternative treatments to help achieve their conservation goals. --- OR --- Becoming an Accredited Air and Space Museum Speakers: - Katrina Pescador, Archivist, San Diego Air & Space Museum - Dennis Sharp, Curator, San Diego Air & Space Museum Chair: - Karen Lacy, Assistant Curator, San Diego Air & Space Museum This session will focus on the American Association Museum's (AAM) accreditation and reaccreditation process, through the experiences of the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Discussion will focus on why the museum decided to pursue accreditation, the benefits received since becoming accredited and the national professional standards currently evaluated by AAM. The speakers will share San Diego Air & Space Museum's experience in meeting and maintaining those standards, along with the overall evaluation process.

	8:00 - 9:15 a.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Seven Sneaky Things that Make a One-Person Development Program Work Speakers: - Andrew H. Bro, President, Prentice Company - Paulette Bufano, Principal, Bufano Management Chair: - Ralph Bufano, President Emeritus, Museum of Flight Even the smallest institution can realize most of its fundraising goals with a creative development officer who enlists the support of staff and integrates other departments' programs into fundraising efforts. Learn how to improve fundraising by making the director a superhero and utilizing the Web site and museum store as central development tools. This is a "how to" session on defining the core concerns of development, then addressing them in a collegial way. While the presentation is aimed mainly at small institutions, many of the approaches can be used in larger museums. --- OR --- Building Education Systems in Museums & How to PIMP Your Outreach Education Program Speakers: - Beverly Clevenger, Director of Education, Woodland Park Zoo - Rich Lienesch, Museum of Flight Chair: - Amelia Chapman, Director of Education, San Diego Air & Space Museum Create education programs that help build generations of inspired, curious and insatiable aerospace fans. This workshop session will be a "how to" on developing education programs that build relationships with schools and gain public recognition - especially important for small- and medium-size museums. Learn how to build relatively low cost, multi-facet experiential learning (beyond hands-on) education programs, and develop cross-functional staff and volunteers. In addition, the session will discuss PIMP -- the Processes, Implementation, Marketing and Procedures required to build a successful Outreach Education program. Participants will learn ways to create quality programs and efficiently deliver them to communities all over the map.

	9:15 - 9:30 a.m.	Break

	9:30 - 10:45 a.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Put Your Visitors in the Cockpit - And Give Them a Mission Speakers: - Hal Bryan, Software Test Engineer, Microsoft Corporation - Amelia Chapman, Director of Education, San Diego Air & Space Museum - Mike Singer, Experience Architect, Microsoft Corporation Chair: - TBD Microsoft Flight Simulator allows users to realistically recreate the experience of flying different aircraft over and around scenery that depicts the entire planet. In addition to the roughly two dozen aircraft included in the default package, there is an active community of third-party developers who have created tens of thousands of additional aircraft for Flight Simulator. With the newly released Flight Simulator X, museum staff can customize and create guided, evaluated, and time-limited interactive experiences that put your visitors in the cockpit. Participants will gain a broad understanding of the relevant features and tools available in and for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with an emphasis on optimizing and customizing the experience for a museum environment at minimal expense. In addition, the new "Missions" feature in Flight Simulator X will be introduced, demonstrating its usefulness in creating a more controlled interactive experience. This presentation will be wholly updated from the very popular session delivered at the 2006 seminar. --- OR --- Discovery Stations and Family Days: Creating a Dynamic Interactive Experience for the Whole Family in Static Exhibit Space Speakers: - Jennifer McIntosh, Discovery Station Program Coordinator, National Air and Space Museum - TBD Chair: - Blake Reid, Education Specialist, National Air and Space Museum A constant struggle for most Air and Space Museums: The museum has a wonderful collection and fabulous exhibits, but how do you make the most of your space so that it comes alive for all your visitors, especially families? In this session, National Air and Space Museum staff will present their solution to this dilemma, focusing on the use of Discovery Stations during Family Day programming. Speaker will share tips, success stories and the resources available to help you create quick, educational and fun experiences for your visitors in what is normally just empty space between artifacts.

	10:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.	Concurrent Sessions: Active Worlds "Building Your Virtual Museum" Speakers: - Michael S. Hall, Executive Director, Wings of Eagles Discovery Center - Frank Hughes, Vice President for Education and Training, Tietronix Chair: - Dydia DeLyser, Curator, Heritage Flight Museum The availability of searchable, digital databases provides museum visitors the opportunity to explore the collection and create their own interpretation and displays. Active Worlds software is one such method available to do this. Using this powerful program, participants will collectively build a virtual museum, in the process uncovering the empowerment of this technique to expand horizons and learning opportunities. Participants will see how this web-enabling software can help them enhance participation of their visitors. The technology and techniques of the Active Worlds program is directly applicable to any museum with a digital record of their collection. --- OR --- Engaging the Local General Aviation Community Speakers: - Bruce A. Bleakley, Vice President for Program Development, Frontiers of Flight Museum - Ross E. Davis, Education Resources Coordinator, San Diego Air & Space Museum - Rich Martindell, Education Volunteer, San Diego Air & Space Museum Chair: - Amelia Chapman, Director of Education, San Diego Air & Space Museum Aero-theme museums need not be limited to exhibits and programs related to military hardware, airliners, aviation history or space flight. By involving the current, local general aviation community, we can conceivably attract new audiences who may not otherwise feel connected because our exhibits do not include Cessna 172s or Piper Cherokees. Through two case studies, this session explores how museums can work unilaterally or with the FAA, AOPA and other organizations to expand programming into a new dimension. Flight safety seminars, written test prep courses and CFI renewal seminars are just some of the possible ways to engage this potential audience.
