This year #MW21 will be unforgettable for me because it was my ever first participation as a presenter ! Living in Greece, it was very difficult for me to attend in person, although I am a big fan of @museweb! (1/3)

Online programs can't and shouldn't just be a replica of what we do in our museums. We can reach new audiences, break the mold, try new things. But we can't go after all the 8 billion people in the world - look at data, know your potential audience, go after them. @museweb #MW21

.@MaxAndersonUSA pointing out that small museums don't have the money to put on a full video production; @metopera saying their 2020 gala was done over skype. The story itself makes a powerful performance. We can deliver a good story on a small budget - be engaging @museweb #MW21

"The streaming world is complicated." Excerpts from the @metopera virtual gala from 2020 show it! Conducting a virtual performance with every musician in a different room? And then assembling it for broadcast? The challenges are immense but so are the rewards. #MW21 @museweb

Hearing about @ngadc art history programs for high school students. One participant wound up in medical school & credited this program with showing her how to look and be truly observant - so necessary in medicine! Another way museums' education role is essential. #MW21 @museweb

Amazed by 2 teens at #MW21 (!) and their app showcasing American Indian art to create market for artists. http://Contemporal.co  @museweb

Looking forward to next #MW21 session: Professional Forum: High School Programs: Bridging the Museum Diversity Gap @museweb
