What is a museum’s purpose, and how can that purpose inform the ways museums personalize their experiences for audiences and individuals? This is just one question we’ll be exploring tomorrow, 2pmET/11amPT with Adam Rozan. Register: community.gatherlearning.com… #audienceengagement

Enjoyed @ngadc sharing best practices on image descriptions. How can ai, i.e. #chatgpt, create 1st draft of descriptions? Right now 1% of collection has image descriptions. +: not limited by staff capacity; staff can review & edit; ai could be trained on best practices #mw23

"A well-worded label meets the visitor in familiar territory, using concepts and terminology that feel like second nature, before revealing a new, and relevant, perspective." It's a good reminder every time! museumnext.com/article/what-… cc @MuseumNext

I had the honor of giving the keynote address at the @TheNCMC (in-person!) conference. My latest blog post includes excerpts that explores relevancy, re-examining our practice, and the continued importance of digital in a post-pandemic future. Enjoy! highbeamstrategies.com/blog/…

"Before we let the tech get ahead of us, we want to examine the human-centered nature of these decisions. How are schools making data accessible to teachers? How are universities adopting a culture of change? How are institutions thinking about the...ethical use of data?"

I'm excited to be a keynote speaker at an upcoming museum conference. How much and what kind of interactivity can I infuse into this talk knowing that attendees will be seated & eating lunch while I'm up there? Polls? Individual Brainstorming? Open to suggestions & examples!

38% of respondents listened to podcasts as a way to engage with cultural organizations! So many gems in this @CultureTrack report that can help #museums think about the future of programming and audience interests/preferences. s28475.pcdn.co/wp-content/up…
