To share life experiences is the aim of our congress. Through this dialogue we can nurture and grow as individuals, as museums and as a relevant part of mankind. In order to do that, we need ideas, tales of accomplishment, of challenges, of failures, struggles, or efforts that have produced results and changed our community in any way.

 

By this medium we would like to thank all the participants that sent their papers to Intercmo 2009, for with them we are going to build an interesting program that shows the general picture for all the countries that decided to participate in the conference (More than 40: Taiwan, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Argentina, South Africa, Denmark and much more).

 

Please visit this section constantly, for in the next weeks we are going to be uploading the biopgraphies of the confirmed speakers, as well as the general program in its section.

 

Thanks to all the persons that sent their paper!

 

*As we confirm the expositions, we will be adding the speakers' biographies and their themes in this section.

 

Silvia Singer

Director of the Museo Interactivo de Economía (MIDE)

How to deal with the crisis that has had an impact on every institution this year? Have been there proposals from the museums and cultural environment? What solutions have been implemented on one of the most innovative museums of Mexico, the MIDE (Interactive Museum of Economy)?
Ms. Silvia Singer, its director, will speak on these subjects of imminent importance for the development of all museums.
From her experience, Silvia Singer can share an enormous ammount of ideas: at the same time she was directing the MIDE, she was president of ICOM (International Council of Museums) in its mexican version. If you know spanish, here you can read an interview published in the Expansion magazine, to get to know her a little better.
