There's still time to register for Gather's upcoming convening with museum audience engagement innovator Adam Rozan.
This virtual program will take place on Wednesday, April 26, from 11am-12pm PT / 2pm-3pm ET. Everyone is welcome. All registrants will also have access to the program recording, so even if you are unable to attend live, we hope you're able to join us asynchronously.
About this convening:
Attracting, delighting, and stewarding audiences–from visitors and educators to members and donors–has never been more important for museums. Increasingly, audiences expect the institutions they support to connect with them in ways that make them feel recognized, nurture a sense of belonging, and offer opportunities for connection and participation that feel personalized to their interests.
In this virtual convening, we'll chat with audience engagement innovator and champion Adam Rozan. This wide-ranging conversation will explore topics including:
• What is a museum's purpose, and how can that purpose inform the ways museums personalize their experiences for audiences and individuals?
• How can these efforts increase both access and financial sustainability?
• What can we learn from the ways audiences interacted with us during closures to continue to shape innovation and change in our institutions?
