Please join us for a casual gathering to help Museums and the Web first-timers get the most out of the conference. Emily Lytle-Painter and Meagan Estep Social Media Manager from National Gallery of Art along with co-chairs Nancy Proctor, Rich Cherry and guest co-chair, Sina Bahram will be on hand to say hi and share some pointers about how to make the meeting work. We’ll have some fun and then head off to the Welcome Reception together. MW veterans welcome!

Please join us at the Cleveland’s most visited venue, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to celebrate our 21st Annual Conference of Museums and the Web. Beer, Wine and hors d’oeuvres are served. You’ll see personal items from the Class of 2017 inductees, including Joan Baez, ELO, Journey, Pearl Jam, Nile Rodgers, Tupac Shakur and Yes. Additional exhibits feature artifacts from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Blondie, the Doors, U2, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, the Who, the Supremes, Guns N’ Roses and others. The Hall also explores rock’s impact on the next generation of artists by taking visitors on an intimate journey into the stories of popular acts from today, including Sia, Bruno Mars, The Black Keys and others. https://www.rockhall.com/exhibitguide

The U23D movie will run twice for the reception! The first show will start at 6:30pm and the second will start at 8pm. Visitors are welcome to come and go as the please.

U2 3D (2008, 85 minutes, MPAA Rating: G) will be shown at 6:30pm  and 8pm.  
The first-ever live-action digital 3-D film, U2 3D is a unique cinematic experience that places viewers within the pulsing energy of a stadium concert given by the world’s most popular band. Marrying innovative digital 3-D imagery and multi-channel surround sound with the excitement of a live U2 concert – shot in South America during the final leg of their “Vertigo” tour – it creates an immersive theatrical experience unlike any 3-D or concert film that has come before. Ushering in a new dimension of filmmaking, U2 3D takes viewers on an extraordinary journey they will never forget. Showing at 8pm, limited seating available (175 spots).

An admission ticket for this reception is required and is included in full registration packages. Extra tickets for guests can be purchased online or at the Conference Registration Desk.

The hall is 10 minutes walking distance from the Conference Hotel. Due to the inclement weather there will also be a shuttle running between the Conference Hotel Lobby and the venue running from 6:15-9:30.

At Microsoft, it is our mission to ‘empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.’  We believe empathy is the foundation of inclusive design, and when we understand human motivations on a universal scale, we design for a broader, more diverse audience.  Hear more about how Microsoft approaches inclusive design and accessibility in order to open up our experiences.  During this presentation, we will also introduce products – such as Microsoft Translator – that embed automated speech transcription and translation, which provide for multilingual conversations in a variety of scenarios, and enable access to spoken language content automatically for those with deafness or who are hard of hearing.  We believe that breaking down the language and hearing barriers brings us one step closer to achieving our mission.

Community of Practice: Immersive Storytelling (Agenda)
- Nancy Proctor, The Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture, USA

Sponsored by Axiell

Online Collections are arguably the area of greatest potential for museums and cultural organizations, promising innovative new ways of enriching the collection and creating engagement and visitor communication globally. Yet that potential remains largely unfulfilled for the majority of audiences. Practitioners, researchers, and technologists in the field convene in this Community of Practice to share their learnings, their trials, and their data to the greater benefit of all. The Online Collections Community of Practice kicks off at MW17 and will continue collaborating throughout the following year with the generous support of Axiell.

What happens when a traditional art museum and garden tests using digital marketing, only, to market an exhibition to decide whether or not to remove traditional marketing from their overall marketing plan?
- Chantal Drake, Dixon Gallery and Gardens, USA

For more than a decade, the cultural field has celebrated and feared the power of the personal device, through which audiences can hold digital collections in the palm of their hands and instantly tap into cultural content wherever and whenever they like. Yet reports of the death of the purpose-built audio tour player seem to have been greatly exaggerated: the longest lived and arguably the most financially stable mobile companies around the world still build their businesses around custom hardware and software. Where does that leave museums and cultural attractions trying to decide whether to assume their visitors will bring their own smartphones, or to provide mobile devices on site?

Veterans and newcomers in the field from both sides of this Oxford-style debate will put forward their arguments in response to the motion, “This house holds that BYOD has failed museums,” and respond to questions from attendees. Debaters include Micah Walters, formerly of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and Frits Polman of Guide ID for the motion, with Scott Gillam from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and Nancy Harmon from Encurate Mobile for the opposition. The audience will be encouraged to participate and at the end of the session will vote on whether to BYOD or not to BYOD.
