Join social media practitioners from local museums and arts organizations for a lively discussion about the value of social media to our institutions. Are our current social media practices engaging online communities to their greatest potential? What outcomes are we hoping to achieve? And how can we better evaluate the success of our efforts and take our social media engagement to the next level?

Our panelists will:
*share recent research about how social media has transformed the arts in America
*present lightning talks on the social media outcome that matters most to them
*discuss your ideas, needs, and concerns

Come prepared to share your burning questions or big idea!

DOES SOCIAL MEDIA MAKE YOU HUNGRY?
Continue the conversation with the panelists after the session. Buy your own lunch in the museum’s Mitsitam Cafe and join us for an informal discussion in smaller groups with like-minded attendees.
