Are your organization's interpretive offerings ready for anything? When gatherings are limited, in-person programs can’t be all museums offer, and when sites are closed, on-site interpretation isn’t enough. Learn to shift from "programs" to all-encompassing "programming" that can serve your audience better whether there is a crisis or not, be more effective under tighter budgets, and keep the interpretation alive even when access to an interpreter is limited.

Museums Unbound will share how to assess your offerings, complete with frameworks and activities to help implement these changes with your team. They will also discuss ways that any site can build engagement into non-facilitated programming. Learn to incorporate creativity, adventure, personalization, and educational standards into the visitor experience, making your programming stronger than before and ready for whatever comes around.

Jodi Larson & Hannah Kellogg are part of the consultancy Museums Unbound, and together they've been in the museum world for nearly three decades. They’ve worked in history museums and living history sites, archaeological sites, open-air venues, science centers, craft museums, art galleries, nature centers, art museums, and once on an island full of bears as a park ranger. They've earned Bachelors and Masters degrees in Public History, Museum Studies, and History, studied nonprofit management, got certified by the National Association of Interpretation, and founded Museums Unbound.

Jodi and Hannah aim to change the way we change the world and have worked on three continents with museums and cultural sites of all shapes and sizes. Jodi is the Programs & Education Specialist at the Lake Jackson Historical Association in Lake Jackson, TX where she overseas programs and events at two historic sites, as well as a traditional museum. Hannah’s work is anything but traditional, as she is the Site Manager of the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm at Lyndon B. Johnson State Park where she does it all--including milking the cow.
