=Scope and purpose= December 2nd is a more traditional, sit-down-around-a-conference-table kind of meeting with funders, partners, and co-conveners at the offices of the [|American Alliance of Museums]. The purpose of the December 2nd meeting is to sift through and digest inputs from the December 1st unconference/Ignite and facilitate a sustained discussion and debate about the scope and validity of the Openlab Concept.
