This year’s sessions, speakers, and workshops off er a chance for you to discuss new fi ndings, discover new methods, and explore how social and technological shi s may aff ect the nature of our work. New Pathways in Visitor Studies In visitor studies, we are challenged to respond to a rapidly changing world in order to maintain a current understanding of our visitors and their needs, as well as the fi eld of visitor studies itself. We pursue new pathways in part because of changes within the commu- ni es we serve, as demographic shi s and technological advances (among others) require us to think diff erently about the work we do. We also look for innova ve approaches to fostering change within our fi eld, such as becoming more inclusive of other voices or fi nding ways to leverage our collec ve impact. New insights and innova ons from outside our fi eld can also off er novel ways of looking at learning and learners to support mission-driven ins tu ons like museums, zoos and aquariums. “New Pathways in Visitor Studies” seeks to advance the fi eld by challenging conference speakers and a endees to work crea vely and collabora vely to deliver reliable new insights about the experiences of our visitors. Our Host City Welcome to Test Market, USA! For decades, universi es in the metro area have made Columbus a center for research, but in the past its populace has been a major source of human subjects, too: Columbus has a strong history in test marke ng because large retail and food companies - both industries that rely on consumer studies - are headquartered in the area. We hope you enjoy ge ng to know the foodie city of Columbus, which is home not only to a thriving restaurant scene, but also to a great array of vendors like the North Market’s dozens of lunch stalls and Jeni’s legendary gourmet ice cream. Within walking distance of our host hotel, you can enjoy the 2017 Jazz & Rib Fest, visit several local museums, stroll through Columbus Commons, or jump on the CBUS to visit historic neighborhoods and great shopping. This year’s evening event will include opportuni es to explore the Colum- bus Museum of Art, and ahead of this year’s conference, a endees can enjoy a special fi eld trip opportunity at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. We hope you enjoy visi ng these and other local ins tu ons. In addi on to joining us for an evening event, we hope you will consider par cipa ng in a Dining Discussion, a ending a Fireside Chat, or joining a FIG. Consult this program or the registra on table for informa on about these off erings. We hope you learn, interact with others, enjoy the city of Columbus, and leave inspired. We also invite you to share your thoughts and sugges ons with us, as we have already started planning for the 2018 conference in Chicago!
