Key messages from Panel members:

“ACC has amazing content but there is a need to promote their products. They can develop Banners on screen, their content is really good, so develop campaigns about each element that what’s happening in ACC. Do campaign through promotional movement. Publicity will surely get results”. Jim Richardson CEO/Founder of the MuseumNext


“What is your audience? who are they? what they are seeking? so set the audience who are paying attention to websites and social media, then collect the information that what people want to see and ask for recommendations. Share relevant stories that people can relate to them." Sara Devine- Director of visitor experience & Engagement, Brooklyn Museum


Audience Comments on this conference:

“I often visit ACC, in this conference, I have learned about the role of the museum on technology. I am a bit skeptical about the use of technology because technology is still weak. I think the last speaker (Eunjung Chang) has highlighted more effectively about technology and it"s important”.  Kim Hong Sik- the Internet shopping mall.

This was a new concept to me. The speeches were interesting. here I know many things about what others are using technology for their institutions and they are focused on the audience. in the meantime, Korea is using for an educational tool only."Park Jeong – Cheongju Craft Biennale.
