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.

During this webinar, Praxis member and Principal of Blue Telescope, Trent Oliver presents a survey of best practices – and best guesses – from some of the country’s leading museums and science centers, as well as some thoughts on how new technologies can help us navigate these new challenges. Q&A session follows the presentation.

WEBINAR — During this 30 minute webinar, Praxis Member, Carolynne Harris will show how an effective capital project planning process (new museums, renovation, or expansion) can frame challenges and help prepare solutions for your museum before you invest time and money in the design process.

ARTICLE — If you haven’t worked in the museum or visitor attraction industry before, you are what I like to call a “civic entrepreneur” – you are undergoing a massive project (no matter how big or small) that needs careful planning, a creative team, and attention to details you never could have imagined.
