Friday, November 19, will be more relaxed than the previous two educational and intensive days of the National Workshop. We will take behind-the scenes looks at interpretive facilities, heritage resource venues, and other local places to visit with those who know these locations best. There is a fee above regular workshop registration to cover the cost of these optional off-site sessions.

Specific sessions will be listed here and in the registration packet in May 2010.

 

Preworkshop sessions are one- or two-day, topic-based workshops designed for those who would like in-depth training in subjects related to interpretation. The Interpreters Road Show and some preworkshop training sessions take place over two days (November 15-16). All others take place Tuesday, November 16. There is a fee (lunch included) above regular workshop registration to cover the cost of these optional preworkshop sessions.

These sessions will be listed here and in the registration packet in May 2010.

 

The exhibit hall will highlight more than 100 of the most innovative and dynamic interpretive companies and organizations in North America. Interpretive professionals will be on hand to discuss the latest interactive exhibit, sign project, or museum makeover. Exhibitors will be eager to answer questions and connect you with the information you need.

Show your passion for the profession and support NAI’s scholarship program by purchasing items at the scholarship auction. Come early and browse the deals at the silent auction tables, T-shirt sale, and book nook. Then get ready for a lively auction. This is the perfect place to find holiday gifts, curiosities, collector’s items, interpretation materials for your site, or a special treat for yourself. NAI is dedicated to supporting education and training for young professionals in interpretation. Proceeds go to NAI’s scholarship fund, college scholarships, and training monies for students and professionals. There will be a cash bar while you enjoy the banter of the NAI auctioneers.

 

Wednesday, November 17, night is a night for networking. You may network on your own or take advantage of an NAI-sponsored event. For all but one of these optional special evening events, there is a fee above the regular registration to cover costs.

These sessions will be listed here and in the registration packet in May 2010.
