   the international conference for culture and heritage on-line
   April 13-17, 2010
   Denver, Colorado, USA
   http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/


** MW2010 Papers On-line **
The first group of papers to be presented at MW2010 papers are now on-line. See http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/speakers/ . All of the papers will be on-line before the meeting. Take a look and come ready to dive in to the issues. You can also search all past MW [and ICHIM] papers from http://conference.archimuse.com/biblio


** Hotel Registration Deadline: TOMORROW: March 17, 2010 **
MW2010 takes place at the Grand Hyatt, Denver and it's important for conference economics that you stay at the conference hotel. The MW2010 conference rate is available until March 17 from http://www.archimuse.com/mw2010/local/ If you shop around you might be able to beat this with a flight/hotel package or other offer, but please stay at the Grand Hyatt (your booking counts no matter how you make it).


** Advance Registration Deadline: April 8, 2010 **
If you are coming to MW2010, please make sure to register in advance. You'll save a bit of money, and have an easier time when you arrive. See https://www2.archimuse.com/mw2010/mw2010.registrationForm.html


** Best of the Web People's Choice: Voting starts April 1, 2010 **
Once again we will be asking for your opinion about the best museum sites on the web. Review the sites nominated for Best of the Web awards at  http://conference.archimuse.com/best_web/nominees-2010  and figure out which is your People's Choice. Voting will be open April 1, 2010. If you don't have one, register for an account, so you can vote.


** Wikimedia at MW2010 **
We're hosting a pre-conference workshop at Museums and the Web 2010 that will bring together wikimedians and museum people from around the world. Our goal, through some face-to-face conversation, is move through some of the policy and procedural questions that have proven stumbling blocks to date, and scope out ways we can truly collaborate.

In preparation for the workshop we're asking people to contribute their ideas and observations. We want to shape the agenda based on real issues and concerns, and need your input to be sure that happens. Join the discussions at http://conference.archimuse.com/forums/wikimediamw2010 


** Join Us On-line **
As well as our own community at http://conference.archimuse.com, MW2010 can be found on Twitter [museweb]; Linked In [Museums and the Web group], Facebook [Museums and the Web page and Museums and the Web 2010 event], Upcoming [Museums and the Web event], Flickr [MW2010 group], and Slideshare [Museums and the Web group].

** See you soon, we hope **
There are people from more than 22 countries already registered to come to Museums and the Web 2010. We hope you'll be able to join us.
