2008 ASTC Annual Conference
In the Public Eye—Science Centers at the Crossroads of Science and Culture
October 18–21, 2008
Hosted by the Franklin Institute
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
ASTC and the Franklin Institute invite you to join us in Philadelphia, birthplace of a nation and home to one of the world’s icons of scientific curiosity, Founding Father and distinguished diplomat Benjamin Franklin. The 2008 ASTC Annual Conference will feature discussions and dialogue focusing on science centers’ place at the crossroads of the scientific community and the general public.
Across the conference schedule you will find sessions that challenge us to explore our responsibility to both our scientific and public constituencies. What role do we play in reflecting or supporting the views of these communities? How do we mediate the relationship between science and public audiences?
In support of the conference theme we have identified the following six areas for further exploration: Research in Learning, Current Science, Technology, Public Policy and Issues, Marketing and Communications, and Leadership and Management.
