Keynote Kati Price on the last two and a half years - a big group hug or primal scream might help!
She's looking at the consequences of the pandemic and lockdowns in terms of: collaboration, content, cash, churn
Widespread adoption of tools as people found new ways of collaborating from home
Content - the 'hosepipe of requests' for digital content is all too familiar. Lockdown reduced things to one unifying goal - to engage audiences online
(In hindsight, that moment of 'we must find / provide entertainment online' was odd - the world was already full of books, tv, podcasts, videos etc - did we want things we could do together that were a bit like things we'd do IRL?)
V&A moved to capture their Kimono exhibition to share online just before closing for lockdown. Got a Time Out 'Time In'. No fancy tech, just good storytelling
Took a data-informed approach to creating content e.g. ASMR videos. Shows the benefits of 'format thinking'. Recommends https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-016-matt-locke/id1498470334?i=1000500799064 #MuseTech2022
At Museums Computer Group's #MuseTech2022 conference.
Here's the programme https://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/events/museumstech-2022-turning-it-off-and-on-again/
Huuuuuuge thanks to the volunteers who worked so hard on the event - and as Chair Dafydd James says, who've put extra work into making this a hybrid event https://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/about/committee/
What's the etiquette about live posting from conferences here?
