About the Workshop

This workshop will focus on strategies for museum, archives, and library professionals to effectively use marketing and public relations to tell the stories of their collections throughout the year, and not just during special exhibitions. It will present the basic components of a public relations program, examine strategies that have worked for other institutions, and tackle some challenging situations drawn from the audience.  In addition, a panel of museum professionals will be on hand to share their personal success stories.
