WEBINAR — Like a circus, experience design can be thrilling and magical.

But it can also be, well, kind of a circus. How do you make sure there’s someone to catch the person leaping from the trapeze at just the right moment? Especially when the spotlight is on?

In this webinar, Trent Oliver of Blue Telescope shares process insights, collaboration tools, and best practices for working with all of the various members of an extended experience design team:

• when (and how!) to loop in each of your collaborators with confidence

• how to maintain a “single version of the truth” across distributed teams

• how to manage approvals, budgets, and all of the potentially dangerous backflips

• … and, most importantly, how not to lose sight of your dreams.

Moderated by Steven Rosen, President & Creative Director of Available Light. Q&A session follows the presentation.

WEBINAR — A budget is the foundation of a project, yet there is often confusion or lack of confidence about how to establish a target budget, and what elements must be considered. Is it Alchemy? Do you have a Franken-budget? Are there ghouls waiting in the wings to kill your project?

Mysteries Revealed! Watch this webinar that features a panel of experienced museum project planners as they explore the process for setting conceptual target budgets, explain what sort of analysis should occur prior to setting budgets, and discuss many items to consider when embarking on such a journey. The panel will share benchmarking data from REAL (not graveyard) PROJECTS (no names of course), and talk about why googling “how much should a museum or exhibition cost” is a career-threatening action. Q&A session follows the presentation.

WEBINAR — Many cultural organizations have institutional requirements to solicit competitive proposals; but most managers tasked with preparing an RFP for Design, Management or Fabrication services are not necessarily prepared (or trained) for this critical task. The process can be complex, multi-layered, and intimidating—especially with seemingly over-whelming procurement regulations.
