The InterActivity Program Committee is a service opportunity for ACM members to play a key role in shaping content for the annual conference. The Program Committee is an all-volunteer, field review body charged with evaluating and selecting session proposals for the blocks of Concurrent Professional Development Sessions at InterActivity, a significant part of the conference program.
The Committee is composed of twenty-four members, including two co-chairs and two business members. As a field review body, its composition includes individuals with a variety of job functions, expertise, experience, ages, genders, etc., to represent the geographic, institutional, and personal demographics of the children’s museum community.
Program Committee members are required to:
• Review and rate approximately 30 session proposals between August 12-30, 2024.
• Attend the in-person Program Committee Selection Meeting, Thursday-Friday, September 12-13, 2024 at Explora Science Center and Children’s Museum of Albuquerque (NM).
• Work with two to four session chairs of accepted proposals (September 16 through InterActivity 2025).
• Register for InterActivity by the Early Bird deadline and attend the full InterActivity conference, May 14–16, 2025.
• Attend a virtual Program Committee debrief after the conference.
• Pay one’s own travel to and from the selection meeting, the conference, and conference registration fee (usually funded by the individual’s institution).
• Meet all deadlines set by ACM.
