April 23 ExhibitFiles BETA launch
March 22nd, 2007 by Wendy PollockWe’ve set the date. On April 23rd the ExhibitFiles website will be publicly available. Over the last nine months, we’ve shared part of the process with you via this blog. Now, in a month, you’ll be able to see (and participate in) ExhibitFiles for yourself. We appreciate all of the comments and suggestions we’ve received during this process; they have helped us improve the site’s design and functionality. Randi Korn & Associates will be carrying out a formal evaluation of the site during the summer, but meanwhile we hope you’ll continue to send your comments.
Once ExhibitFiles launches, we’ll continue to publish news here for the first few months as we consider whether and how to continue the blog. Meanwhile, we look forward to seeing you online in April!

Sounds great, Wendy! I’ve been looking forward to seeing this. If you need any beta testers, let me know.

Happy to hear you’ll be up and running by AAM in May–I’m still hoping we can publicize the project at the CurCom/NAME “Marketplace of Ideas” forum. We really want to spark some more conversation about about how the exhibits community can encourage and promote creativity and “excellence.”

We’d be happy to be part of the Marketplace of Ideas and NAME discussions at AAM. By then, ExhibitFiles should have begun to come to life, with exhibition stories, images, comments, and reviews. The more people participating, the richer the resource will be — and the shorter the “cycle of learning.”

Look forward to participating and commenting as well. Great project.
