We can now officially announce that registration for THATCamp Museums NYC will open on April 2nd. We will be accepting registrants on a first come first serve basis and have room for 90 participants, so sign up as soon as possible once registration opens. When you register you will receive an email that your registration has been accepted and then another email confirming that you registered before the conference filled up if you are one of the first 90 registrants. More specific information about the registration process will be made available the 2nd.
Some other questions you may have about registration and the upcoming THATCamp:
How much does it cost to register for this thing?
Nothing. That’s one of the great things about THATCamps, registration for them is always little or nothing, which is a great way to open up the participant base to as wide a group as possible.
Who can register for THATCamp Museums NYC?
Anyone really. While this THATCamp was envisioned as regional and museum-centric, it is always great to have eager voices from outside of NYC and even from other fields. Just know that because the majority of the community will be local museum/cultural heritage folk that conversations and sessions will skew that way.
How do I keep up with everything about THATCamp Museums NYC?
We encourage all applicants, participants, organizers, and onlookers to sign up for a Twitter account and follow news, announcements, discussions, and general hype coming from our profile (@THATCampMuseums) and the global THATcamp hashtag (#thatcamp). Also, if you don’t already have one, go sign up for a Gravatar account.
Who do I contact with any questions about registration, travel, etc.?
You either send a message to our Twitter profile (@THATCampMuseums) or email us at thatcampmuseumsnyc[at]bgc[dot]bard[dot]edu.
What kind of workshops will be offered?
We will be making another announcement in the next week or so about workshops happening on the Friday before the conference on May 18th. It looks like we will have a really strong lineup, but are looking to continue to expand the offerings, so if you are interested in teaching a workshop drop us a line at the email above about any idea you might have for a workshop you could teach. Also, let us know if there are any tools or methodologies you might be interested in a workshop on and we might be able to drum
That’s all for now. Looking forward to seeing everyone in May!
