Five Keys to Exhibition Success 

Why do some exhibitions excel and others don't? What's the secret to success? How can you make your exhibition drive visitation and positive feedback? From examples and anecdotes gleaned from years of exhibition design and production experience, Andy Anway will provide practical advice on ways to create exhibitions that are memorable, remarkable and successful. He is the Founder of Amaze Design, in Boston, specializing in planning and design of museums, museum exhibits and visitor attractions.  A recent project was the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas.  You can still sign up for the NAME Breakfast to hear Andy.    

 

Advocacy

In February 2015, we'll have dozens of new members of Congress and we need to make a unified case about the value of museums.  You did it:  Earlier this summer, we saw Congressional committees vote to slash funding for NEA and NEH; cuts that were reversed after advocates like you sent nearly 1,000 letters to Congress. This is the power of our voice-if we use it.   Attend this session to learn how to use your voice.  It is more powerful than you know!!!!

 

C7 Advocacy is Not a Four Letter Word

By understanding the "why" behind advocacy, the "how" may seem less daunting. Get to know the positive side of being a museum advocate from a diverse group of museum professionals as they share their wisdom and insight on successful (or not!) advocacy campaigns.   Presenters:   Abigail Jones, Education Associate, Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center, Oklahoma City, OK;  Michael Smith, Director/CEO, Nebraska State Historical Society, Lincoln, NE; Andrew Svedlow, Professor of Art, University of Northern Colorado, Greenly, CO
