On the first day of the conference, Friday, November 12, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institution will be our hosts. We will gather at the East Building entrance of the National Gallery at 4th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, at 8:30 a.m. for registration and coffee. The opening plenary session, led by Project Zero researchers, will begin at 9 a.m. in the main auditorium of the National Gallery. Participants then will attend two courses that day, most of which will focus on learning in museums and learning through art.

Lunch will be on your own in the museums that first day.

On the second and third days of the conference, Saturday-Sunday, November 13-14, the conference will move to the Washington International School at 3100 Macomb Street, NW, in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. Each day will begin at 8:30 a.m. with coffee. A plenary session talk by a Project Zero researcher will follow at 9 a.m. On Saturday, participants will take two interactive courses, and on Sunday they will take one.

Lunch will be provided on Saturday and there will be a conference reception at the school on Saturday afternoon.

The conference will end at 12:30 on Sunday.
