Planning for the 2011 Global EMu User Group Meeting is well underway and the programme is taking shape and filling up with excellent speakers and topics. We expect to publish the first cut of the programme next week (on the EMu website and through the EMuUsers Forum), but will continue to accept paper proposals for some time, just in case you're still planning on presenting a paper.

The 2011 Global EMu User Group Meeting will be held in lieu of the North American, European and Australasian User Group Meetings. The venue is the Natural History Museum, London, on 12-14 October 2011, preceded by the Natural History Special Interest Group (NHSIG) on 11 October. The focus of the meeting is enhancing the knowledge of your institution through use of EMu, and topics will include:

• IMu – EMu’s new integrated web technology
• Capturing and managing narratives
• Integrating EMu with other corporate systems
• New technology

In addition to these themes, there will be a broad range of case studies, several clients showcasing their systems, the ever popular tours, as well as a celebration of KE Software's 25th birthday!

Tours are being planned for:

• Natural History Museum - various options
• Bristol Museums, Galleries and Archives newest museum (opening soon) - M Shed
• Royal Academy of Music
• Dulwich Picture Gallery
• Oxford Museum of the History of Science
