Blogs
There are several ACM members who blogged during
the conference, good news for you and for colleagues not able to
attend.
Twitter Tweeter was by far the most popular
way participants shared their InterActivity 2010 reactions and thoughts!
Check out ACM's twitter handle twitter.com/ChildMuseums.
Tweeters used the hashtag #IA2010 to contribute and follow.
Flicker The photos are beginning to flicker in to
ACM's
Flickr photo pool for InterActivity 2010.
Want to upload your photos? The easiest way to
add a photo to a group is to go to the photos page and click the
"Send to Group" button between the photo title and the
photo. Then choose the group (InterActivity2010) you want to send
it to.
facebook & LinkedIn
ACM is on facebook.
The Children's Museum of Houston helped ACM create an InterActivity
2011 facebook page. Lots
of ACM members have joined ACM's
LinkedIn page and it make sense to post professional-oriented
opportunities or messages here. We're thinking LinkedIn could be
a great place to share session proposal and speaker ideas for InterActivity
2011, so join our network!
Take 5! Rebate
Member institutions sending five or more individuals (full-time
and part-time staff members, interns, volunteers, board and trustee
members) to InterActivity will receive a rebate totaling five percent
of the institution’s total InterActivity registration fees.
Surcharges, membership dues, pre- and postconference registration
fees, tours and ticketed events are not included in calculating
the total InterActivity registration fees. The rebate will be issued
to the member institution as a check and mailed by June 30. Only
full InterActivity registration fees paid by the institution count
toward the Take 5! Rebate offer. An institution is not required
to register its entire group at one time. An institution may register
additional museum-sponsored individuals online through April 4 and
on-site to qualify for the Take 5! Rebate. ACM’s InterActivity
cancellation policy will apply to all Take 5! Registrations. A canceled
registration that reduces the number of
individuals an institution sends to the full InterActivity conference
to less than five will void the Take 5! Rebate.
Conference Cancellation Policy
As printed on page 30 of the InterActivity 2010 Preliminary Program,
all cancellations must be made in writing to ACM and emailed to
acm@ChildrensMuseums.org.
ACM is not responsible for cancellations not received. Please contact
ACM at 703-224-3100 to confirm receipt of your written cancellation.
Any refunds, based on refund schedule below, will be issued following
InterActivity and prior to June 30, 2010
Each year, ACM delivers nationally-known keynote
speakers to InterActivity. To bring these inspiring thought-leaders
to you, ACM often works with a speakers bureau, arranges for speaker
travel and provides hotel accomodations. We know listening to these
keynote speakers greatly impacts children's museum professionals,
and we hope to extend this experience to those members who were
not able to attend InterActivity 2010 by offering MP3 recordings
of the live speeches.
