As you peruse our 2009 conference “New West Solutions in Old West Settings” program, you’ll see many sessions devoted to new economic challenges, new technologies, and new ideas. But the past is still prologue to the future. We’ll deal with Western Art -contemporary and traditional - with special presentations by acclaimed experts in the field - and witness how the 1930s and 1940s work of Wyoming’s Thomas Molesworth continues to influence Western design.

After the Molesworth furniture session, we’ll all visit the State Museum to see the special exhibit of his western-style furniture.

Our roster of keynote speakers is strong. Dr. Anne-Imelda Radice, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will talk about insights she has gleaned about museums over her distinguished career.

Former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson and his brother Pete Simpson, distinguished Political Science Professor at the University of Wyoming, will talk about politics and the west. This duo is so popular that we’ll open up their talk to the people of Cheyenne. The storytelling will continue with Phil Roberts, Wyoming’s best known historian, telling us tales of old Wyoming.

Tales of Washington will be told by Ford Bell, President/CEO of the American Association of Museums, who will join Dr. Radice in answering questions at an open forum.
