IJAM Volume 4 Number 2 (PRINT)

EDITOR’S NOTE

The Sixth International Conference on Arts and Cultural Management (AIMAC) was held at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, last July. The conference proceedings comprise 71 papers – 22 on marketing, 24 on management and the others dealing with various topics such as cultural policy. The conference provided nearly a hundred researchers from around the world with an opportunity to engage in in-depth and vigorous discussions, demonstrating yet again the relevance of cultural management as an academic discipline.

The next conference will be held at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy, from 29 June to 2 July 2003. If you would like to present a paper, I encourage you to prepare an abstract and submit it to us by 15 October 2002. Complete information about the submission process can be found on the official AIMAC website, at www.hec.ca/artsmanagement/aimac.

Although this conference is aimed primarily at academics, all those who direct training programs in arts and cultural management, as well as professionals working in any of the related fields, are more than welcome to attend. This gathering offers an extraordinarily enriching experience, in that the participants present the results of the latest research in this area of study.
Also note that since the International Journal of Arts Management is closely associated with AIMAC, upcoming issues will contain a number of the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference in Brisbane. If you would like a copy of the complete conference proceedings, please submit a request to the organizers at the following address: j.radbourne@qut.edu.au.
