Don't miss three exciting days:

*	Keynote addresses by internationally-respected urban planner Larry
Beasley and former Director of the Museum of London, now CEO of the Royal
British Columbia Museum, Jack Lohman 
*	Speakers from more than 15 countries about how city museums are
reconsidering their role in civic life due to the enormous pressure cities
face in terms of aging infrastructure, the need for urban regeneration,
economic and environmental crises, and social issues such as demographic
shifts, global diasporas, increasing immigrant and urban Aboriginal
populations; as well as city museums under development, urban/edge city
museums, and city museums in large and small cities
*	Behind-the-scenes tours of the Museum of Vancouver, opening
reception at the Museum of Anthropology/UBC, National Film Board premiere at
VIFF, Ignite! Sessions, poster competition, meeting at the Vancouver Art
Gallery, an off-site workshop in North Vancouver, optional tours of Richmond
or Gastown

CAMOC is the Collections and Activities of Museums of Cities committee of
ICOM, a forum for people who work in or are interested in museums about
cities, urban planners, historians, economists, architects or geographers,
all of whom together can share knowledge and experience, exchange ideas and
explore partnerships across international boundaries.
