It seems like the conference in Philadelphia has only just passed but it is already time to begin thinking about sessions for the 2010 conference in Los Angeles.

Based on the content of the 2009 conference, we are in need of more sessions about curatorial issues concerning art museums, historic house museums, and collection research. CurCom encourages you to take this opportunity, as a member of CurCom and a museum professional, to have an impact on the future of the field and to:

• Explore critical issues or ideas that will benefit your colleagues, your museum and your profession
• Tap into a wider network of professionals
• Receive national recognition from your peers
• Enjoy sunny southern California
