New technologies, a focus on social justice, and even the pressure to bring in new audiences have pushed many museums toward creative problem solving and experimentation. Connect with fellow museum professionals and collaborate to rapidly prototype practical ideas for your institution in this unique classroom-style session.

Learning Objectives:

Become better able to identify areas that can benefit from experimentation, and establish how creative problem solving can work in your institution regardless of budget.
Compare how experimental changes occur in different types of sites, and assess what “success” looks like.
Become comfortable with experimentation by dialoguing with other attendees, collaborating, and creating new strategies and ideas for your institution.
