#12: Never Stop
Learning
Ever feel there aren't enough hours in the day to invest in
yourself? Effective museum personnel schedule time to grow
professionally. Imagine three days where your time, energy
and resources are dedicated to learning, instead of putting
out fires. InterActivity 2010: Invest Early, Inspire Growth
gives you time to learn.
#11: Never
Go It Alone

#9: Engage with Experts
in the Field
Power lunch with James Chung, president of Reach
Advisors, during one of InterActivity's three concurrent
Brown Bag Sessions on Thursday, May 6. In January 2010, Chung
and his team launched a study to dig deeper into the fundamental
motivations of core visitors to museums. At InterActivity
2010, Chung will provide topline results from this survey.
Who are Museum Advocates compared to the broader audience
of core visitors? What triggers bring about that lifelong
curiosity and affinity for museums? How can we deeply engage
our visitors to create more Museum Advocates, both now and
in the future?
Note: This session was recently added to
InterActivity 2010. See
page 15 of the Preliminary Program for more "power
lunch" Brown Bag Sessions featuring federal funding experts
and 2009 winners of the Promising Practice Award.
#8: Engage with Inspiring
Thought Leaders
It's one thing to read a great book. It's an entirely other
matter to meet the one who wrote the book. InterActivity 2010
features three keynote speakers who not only wrote a book
or two, but will challenge the way you think about race, fundraising
and development and what kids need to succeed in the 21st
century.
-
Thurs, May 6: Dr.
Johnnetta Cole, director of the National Museum
of African Art
-
Fri, May 7: Dan
Pallotta, founder of Pallotta Teamworks and
author of Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits
Undermine Their Potential
-
Sat, May 8: Dr.
Peter Benson, president & CEO of the Search
Institute
#7:
Engage with Colleagues from Your Region
Your InterActivity registration fee provides free breakfast
and networking opportunities all three days. Saturday's Regional
Breakfast Rounds will give you the opportunity to
meet with conference attendees in your region -- a perfect
opportunity to develop potential partnerships and build resources
in your backyard.
#6: Keep on Message
Delivering clear messages about your children's museum confirms
your credibility, connects your target prospects emotionally,
motivates key audiences to act and ensures their loyalty.
InterActivity 2010 marketing sessions such as Uniting
the Children's Museum Brand Around Early Childhood
and Stop Marketing and Start Connecting will
help you understand how to keep on message, what ACM and children's
museums can do to improve messaging and the pay-offs for doing
so.
#5: Keep Current
Hear foundation representatives speak about the changing forces
that are reshaping the charitable giving landscape during
The Future of Philanthropy salon. Discover
new advocacy insights during the Connecting on the Grassroots
Level salon. Talk about the latest cognitive theories
and practical exhibit design applications during the How
the Brain Wants to Learn session. For beginners, there's
How to Get Your Social Media in Gear. For those
further along, there's Social Media 201. Learn
the latest to help you become a stronger museum professional.
#4: Keep Having
Fun
The fun starts Wednesday night before InterActivity begins
at the free Pecha Kucha Saint Paul evening session.
The Pecha Kucha concept was devised in Tokyo in 2003 as an
event for young designers to meet, network and show their
work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration,
with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world,
inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese
term for the sound of "chit chat," it rests on a
presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images
x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise,
and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. Have fun learning
at InterActivity 2010!
# 3. Be Playful
Does Saint Paul rock? You betcha!
- Party on with
InterActivity
2010 Host Minnesota Children's Museum.
