Stronger Together: Creating Exhibitions Through Museum PartnershipsWest Muse
“Our museum is way overstaffed!” said no museum professional ever. With tight budgets and lean staff, how can cultural institutions produce robust, complex exhibitions? Museum partnerships offer opportunities to create stronger exhibitions than a single institution can alone produce. This session offers a case study of an exhibition co-organized by the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and Gilcrease Museum, and it also includes strategies gleaned from a variety of museum partnerships from across the country.

Text Chat, Super Quizzes, and Mobile: How Naples Botanical Garden Engages Its...gjhassin
If your venue is like most outdoor spaces pre-pandemic, you’ve had daily tours led by guides to show your visitors all the beauty your property has to offer.
Today, that’s no longer the case. As the CDC lifts its standards for social distancing and mask guidelines, some visitors are still hesitant to be among crowds. And like many parks and gardens, you may not have the budget for staffing as you did before the pandemic.

How mobile signage and text messaging work seamlessly to increase engagement
How super quizzes help their guests retain knowledge of the space
How their mobile website empowers visitors to get to know the Garden without relying on a docent or guide

In 2021, What Does the Ultimate Visitor Experience Entail?gjhassin
Is your venue like hundreds of others -- sick of signage that is expensive, goes unnoticed, and is a pain to update again and again? Plus, paper maps are environmentally unfriendly and, with Covid, go untouched and unused.
So if signage and paper maps are out, how can venues still share their beauty and history while empowering their visitors to explore everything the property has to offer?
Next week, Melissa Burdick, Executive Director of Brenton Arboretum, a 141-acre public garden in Iowa with more than 2,500 trees in their collection, shares her experience using Engage by Cell’s mobile technology.
