2010 ASTC Connect Science Festival Forum |
|
This September the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) and the Science Festival Alliance are teaming up to present an international discussion forum on science festivals. Join in the conversation as we consider the unique strengths and pitfalls of the festival format, respond to your comments, and envision what is next for this rapidly growing field. Highlights of the forum will include: • Conversations led by over a dozen professionals associated with both ASTC and science festivals in North America and Europe. This online forum will be asynchronous: participants may add posts at any time during the week. Forum topics will be announced soon, and you will be able to follow the topics you choose on your own time. It will be easy to participate at your own pace, but registration is required. Whether you are considering starting a new festival, already involved in a local effort, or just want to stay informed, be sure to sign up now.
