Call for abstracts--AIC Annual Meeting

AIC 43rd Annual Meeting
Miami
May 13-16, 2015

Make your mark in Miami--Submit your abstract today

Plans are well underway for AIC's 43rd Annual Meeting in Miami, May
13-16, 2015.  Abstracts can be submitted until September 10.
Abstracts will be considered for the following session types.

General Sessions:  General Session papers must specifically address
the meeting theme, Practical Philosophy or Making Conservation Work.
Because UNESCO has proclaimed 2015 the International Year of the
Light, the Program Committee is also interested in presentations
that discuss practical solutions that take advantage of optical
technology to examine and preserve cultural heritage.  These
submissions will receive special recognition on the final program.
Recent efforts to provide a variety of session formats will continue
and authors accepted for general session presentations may receive
requests to participate in lightning rounds or concurrent general
sessions.

Specialty Sessions:  Specialty Session papers are encouraged to
address the meeting theme but may also explore other topics relevant
to that specialty.  Specialty sessions will include: Architecture,
Book and Paper, Collection Care, Electronic Media, Health and
Safety, Objects, Photographic Materials, Paintings, Research and
Technical Studies, Sustainability, Textiles, and Wooden Artifacts.
In addition there are several joint sessions planned.

Poster Session:  Posters may address the meeting theme, but
presenters can also address their current research interests.
Posters are presented in the Exhibit Hall.
