Open Forum

Hi AAM community,

This Wednesday (April 1st @ 2pm EST) we'll be hosting another webinar (#3), on what has become an on-going webinar series on adapting and responding during COVID-19.

For the past two weeks, a total of over 6,500 people from the museum community have come together to exchange ideas and best practices on navigating the challenging times and closures we're facing due coronavirus.

This week, we'll have special guests Hilary-Morgan Watt (Digital Engagement Manager @ Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden), & Emily Haight (Social Media Manager @ New-York Historical Society) as they talk through the ways museums can begin experimenting with social media, hashtags, digital outreach, and other means to boost engagement among their audiences.

How Museums Can Experiment with Social Media to Boost Audience Engagement During Coronavirus

We'll discuss some of the most successful online experiments in recent times (e.g. #MuseumBouquet), as well as talk through the steps to execute creative ideas from inception to completion.

The webinar is free of cost, will be recorded and transcribed, and we'll be welcoming questions from the community. If there are any questions you'd like the panelists to discuss, please post them on this forum thread or e-mail me directly at brendan@cuseum.com.
