Museums are lifting their curtains — curating not just art and artifacts, but visitor-generated content too. These visual stories about a museum’s exhibits, culture, and visitor experiences help create a more welcoming digital front door to an organization. In this session we share how museums can best leverage visitor-created visuals to show, not tell, their visitors what they stand for, who their community is, and the people behind the institution.

Speakers:
Amrita Gurney, VP of Marketing, CrowdRiff
Anne Botman, Head of Content Development, Canadian Museum of Nature

We have been working with leading museums for several years now, on using visuals shared by visitors as an engagement and marketing tool.
