Montreal, September 28, 2011

Welcome to the new AVICOM site

Heavily influenced by the ICOM branding, our site will be in constant evolution. Over time you will draw valuable information on the activities of AVICOM and the state of our research. You will be able to peruse many photographs that help describe the atmosphere in our scientific meetings and perhaps incite you to join us. The new website also aims to promote new publications, and to announce the various activities of the committee.

I invite you to visit the Technologies section of the site in order for you to provide us with information about your projects. Be it the development of innovative technologies, virtual museums, websites, the creation of mobile applications, audiovisual projects, kiosks, social networks, or the production of DVD-Roms or CD-Roms, we are open to your suggestions.

 

The next FIAMP

The annual meeting of AVICOM and the festival associated with it will be held in Montreal on the 9, 10, 11 and 12 of October, 2012. All those interested in the topic of the development of new technologies and the emergences of new museology professions are invited to send a description of their proposed conference in a short text of 250 words.

At the same time of the annual meeting that the FIAMP festival will take off after a short break in 2011. Visit our website regularly to be informed when you can send your audiovisual and digital works. The registration forms will be available on the site shortly and will give you all the details about the processing of the applications for the competition, registration details for the conference as well as the call for papers.
