Its been over a week since the conference finished and we are now busy doing all the post-conference stuff including sending out an evaluation survey, and making the papers and presentations available on-line.

There have also been a number of great posts and blogs about the conference.  here are just a few:

Regan Forrest is based in Adelaide, and is a member of both MA & IA and chaired the morning plenary on Thursday (which was notable by her fine emulation of Q&A by taking questions from Twitter!)

Regan has compiled four very comprehensive blogs and commentaries and provides some very thought provoking final notes.  There are four blogs in all so read from the bottom up: http://reganforrest.com/category/conferences/

Bernard Caleo, Melbourne Museum, (and cartoonist extraoirdinaire!!!) has posted five blogs about the conference including a great rundown of the New Norcia field trip, and also provides a visitors view of Perth which is quite an eye-opener for us locals.  His blog starts at "Way out West" http://anislandart.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Thornpebble AKA Stephanie Rosestone, a Museum Educator at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. Stephanie has posted four daily blogs on the conference and provides very useful links to websites etc referred to by speakers: http://stephanierosestone.wordpress.com/
