"On 4 and 5 February 2016 the Rijksmuseum [in Amsterdam, NLD, -ed.] will host the two-day international conference ‘Navies in Miniature’ about naval model collections and the research, conservation and presentation of historic ship models.

In February a new catalogue will be published by the Rijksmuseum about the technical scale model collection of the Department of the Navy that existed between 1817 and 1883 after which most of the 1600 objects were transferred to the Rijksmuseum. To celebrate the publication of this catalogue an international conference will be held.
Topics

The overall theme on Thursday 4 February 2016 will be naval model collections from the different navies in both Europe and North America. These technical collections were created as a instrument in ship design and construction as well as for research and educational purposes. The keynote lecture will be presented by Professor John Mack (University of East Anglia). During the other presentations speakers will focus on the naval model collections in the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Scandinavia and the United States.

On Friday 5 February 2016 the focus will be on the research, conservation and presentation of historic ship models, including 3D laser scanning, computer modelling and new and innovative ways of museum presentations. The key note lecture will be presented by Dr Kevin Fewster (National Maritime Museum Greenwich)." (source = Rijksmuseum website)

That's awesome! I wish they had put out a call for papers (or, if they did, that I saw it).
