Dr. Matelic : From Chaos to Community Relevance – Tools for Creative  
Collaborations: 'One could argue that our field is teetering on the  
edge of chaos, with some cultural organizations facing brute survival  
or severe curtailments while others are experiencing new growth and  
support from their communities. What is the difference and what are  
the secrets to thriving in these challenging and exciting times? This  
keynote presentation will explore how to engage community and  
fundamentally transform your organization'.
