The Visitor Studies Association (VSA) seeks to foster a sense of community among its members, who gather once a year to pose intriguing questions, explore diverse opinions, debate controversial issues, challenge assumptions and share their successes and their struggles—in essence, to learn from one another.
Join VSA in 2012 as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary for VSA's conference! At next year’s conference, we will reflect on our past, our achievements, and vision for the future of visitor studies, cultural institutions, and the informal learning community.
Enjoy the southern hospitality of our local hosts in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Raleigh-Durham region is home to many exciting cultural institutions, including the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Marbles Kids Museum, North Carolina Museum of Art, Museum of Life & Science, and North Carolina History Museum – just to name a few!
Workshops will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, July 24 and 25. The conference will kick off Wednesday, July 25 night. See you there!
The Call for Workshops and Conference Session Proposals is now closed.
