ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In this program, we focus on Ed Rodley’s monthly digital fluency blog posts by bringing thought leaders together to discuss museums’ responses to the pandemic. The inspiration for these chats is the Houston-based Finding Alternative Futures, Phase 2 (FAF2) project which examines digital readiness and easily available technologies that can help move the Houston and greater museum community forward. Join us to discuss Ed’s latest posts on Online Public Programming and Organizational Capacity and Continuity where experts will comment on the report that we highlighted, talk about the latest updates, and field questions from the audience.
