Dear speaker and/or convenor at the #Ecsite2018 conference,

The conference programme is live. You can now see at what date and time your session is and start planning your trip to Geneva. Note: your session's title and abstract might have been edited by the Ecsite team, so you don't panic if you don't find it right the way!

Hands On! International Association of Children in Museums is organising three different sessions at the #Ecsite2018 conference, exploring various aspects of the conflict between creating interactive environments encouraging physical activity and keeping visitors safe. They're looking for speakers - will it be you?

Session accepted? What if an extra speaker from outside of the science centre and museum field made it even better? Know such an eye-opener or paradigm shifter? If you can convince the Programme Committee that they're bringing a new perspective to your session, they could attend for free. Applications by 27 January

Online registration for the 2018 Ecsite Annual Conference in Geneva will be opening on Valentine's day (14 February). To celebrate, we are collecting stories of encounters at the conference that led to long-lasting friendships, fruitful collaborations, creative projects or even love stories. Send your contribution by 20 January.
