Hi everyone,

This Tuesday (December 15 @ 2pm EST) we'll be hosting our *finale* webinar of 2020. What started earlier in the year as a one-off virtual roundtable discussion about how museums were adapting to the new realities around COVID, quickly evolved into a popular series of weekly webinars with dozens of speakers and tens of thousands of attendees from the global museum and cultural community. We're glad to be back for one last webinar of the year.

This week, we'll be going full circle and welcoming back Seema Rao (Deputy Director & Chief Experience Officer @ Akron Art Museum), and Scott Stulen (Director & President @ Philbrook Museum) who led our first-ever discussion, as well as special guest Atiba Edwards (Executive VP & COO @ Brooklyn Children's Museum) for a recap and conversation about the trials, triumphs, and transformation that cultural organizations have experienced in 2020. All of our guests this week were recently celebrated as 2020 "Museum Innovators" by Blooloop - please join us as we wrap up the year and explore the past, present, and future of museums!

As along, the webinar is free of cost, will be recorded (available at cuseum.com/webinars soon after), 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.
