Indianapolis Museum of Art Blog

Not really sure what live blogging is….but I’m blogging today for the IMA from Museums and the Web 2009 being held here in Indianapolis.  In a few minutes, our Director and CEO Maxwell Anderson, will give the conference opener, Moving from Virtual from Visceral.  Pretty cool.  This conference is becoming so web-by, that they are now even featuring live tweets during his presentation on a projector.

Today’s post will be fairly short and to the point.  The MW party is just getting started with lots of sessions, workshops, demonstrations and late night parties.  These moments will be filled with tech chatter revolving around social media, content creation, audience development, institutional collaboration and the next big thing.

The IMA is well-represented at this year’s conference (it is in Indy) with colleagues from New Media, Marketing, Applications Development, Conservation and the official ArtBabble intern, Emily all here to mingle, learn and importantly, share.  In fact, in the very near future, you’ll be able to watch Max’s talk on ArtBabble – the Nugget Factory is also here filming this event.

I hope the many visitors from outside Indianapolis and the US enjoy this city, this conference,  and all the ideas and projects that will come to the surface over the next couple of  days.

And, if you’re in town or watching from afar – please share your comments or thoughts on this conference, technology in general or simply, museums.
