A limited number of undergraduate and graduate student volunteer slots are available at the upcoming Museums in Conversation Conference April 22-24, 2012 at the Albany Marriott in Albany, NY and at several off-site locations around the Albany area.

Your free conference registration will allow you access to all of the great sessions and events that are part of this year’s conference. Of particular interest to student volunteers is our Resume Review Center and Monday evening’s Networking Reception. And don’t forget the invaluable opportunity to meet some of the field’s leading professionals from New York State and the nation.

Volunteer duties include:

• Session/Workshop Assistant: Pass out materials for presenters, distribute and collect evaluations from participants, and provide a short description of the session/workshop you attended for posting on the Museums in Conversation website
• Registration Desk: Help welcome participants to the conference
• Silent Auction: Help raise money for Museumwise by assisting donors and bidders during the Museumwise Silent Auction
• And there are many other opportunities available!
