Webinar: Digital Innovation in the Age of COVID-19

Webinar: Digital Engagement 101 for Small Museums

This  webinar is the fourth installment of a six-part Zoom webinar series designed to offer guidance and strategies around how to sustain our institutions in this moment.  The series will leverage the expertise of sixteen heritage practitioners from across the country to address numerous topics.

Particularly in our shift towards a "virtual world", innovating digitally is a crucial component of a successful nonprofit cultural institution.  Join us for presentations to hear from three leading cultural professionals on social media, creating digital educational resources (for families and educators), and to learn about existing resources from the NC Government & Heritage Library. This webinar is designed specifically for small to medium sized cultural organizations and grassroots groups.  Participants will learn digital strategies for our times and how they may better serve their audience.
