The ICOM MPR 2011 annual conference is taking place in Brno,
Czech Republic, from 17th to 20th September, 2011.

This year, the conference theme is Measuring (and Promoting)
Museum Success

The Organising Committee for ICOM-MPR is seeking expressions of
interest from potential speakers on topics related to the
conference theme and to the three sub-themes:

1) How governments measure the success of museums

3) How the public measures the success of museums

In addition, we encourage proposals from potential speakers who
are interested in how we use evidence of success in our branding,
marketing and advocacy.
