Hosted by the Sydney Tramway Museum and the Valley Heights Steam Tramway
The theme of this years Conference is ‘Your Tramway Museum in 2024 – A ten year plan’.
The Conference organizing team is asking every Museum group to present a paper on this theme.
Where will your Museum be in 10 years time? How are you going to achieve your aims and goals? Do you have a succession plan? What are the road-blocks that you might have to address? How are you going to meet the challenges and road-blocks? Do you have a future plan and is it freely available for everyone to see and follow?
Your Museum’s presentation should be around 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions after the presentation. It must include a brief review of what has happened at your Museum since the last COTMA Conference (ie your brag session) and genuine discussion of where you want your Museum to be in 10 years time and how you are planning to achieve this. Presentations may include PowerPoint, Prezi or other electronic elements.
Preliminary presentation details (including the author/s, proposed AV equipment required) must be notified to the Conference organizers no later than 1 August 2014. Full details of your presentation, including presenters and AV equipment required and a transcript or copy of the presentation should be submitted to the Conference organizers no less than 14 day prior to the start of the Conference.
