MA2013 Excursions & Events Survey

The ACT Branch of Museums Australia (MA) is very pleased to be hosting the MA National Conference in 2013. Through a vibrant program of talks and interactive sessions the conference will focus on some of the challenges facing museums and galleries today, explored through the theme How museums work: people, industry and nation. We are now seeking input from future delegates on the excursion and events program.

The following questions relate to the scheduling of excursions as well as possible venues. Your responses will help the organising committee finalise the schedule and ensure that the experiences we offer are relevant and interesting.
