Thursday, November 7, 2019 We are now living in a post-app digital world. In 2010, Apple trademarked the phrase “there’s an app for that.” Since then, it really did seem like there was an app for almost everything, including every museum. Now, a decade after the launch of the App Store, what’s happened to all those apps? In 2019 the Jewish Museum unveiled a new platform-agnostic mobile tour for the smart phone-equipped visitor of today—no app downloads required. Designed as a Single-Page Application, the platform is accessible across all devices and browsers, lowering the barrier to entry. Equally important, the platform facilitates multiple layers of rich storytelling, allowing visitors to “choose their own adventure” as they select various thematic pathways through the collection. Audiences may take a tour from artists like Kehinde Wiley and Isaac Mizrahi, hear a rabbi discuss the origins of Jewish ritual, or join the conversation with a group of 5th graders as they explore the museum. This panel will bring together team members responsible for the mobile platform design and new approach to storytelling to discuss the ways technology and content were developed in tandem, as well as in response to the Museum’s unique operating model and functional needs. Session Type60-Minute Session (Professional Forum or Hands-on Demonstration) TrackContent Key Outcomes This panel aims to stage an in-depth conversation about the ways that technology and content may be developed in tandem to serve the larger interpretive and audience development goals of an institution with many, layered stories to tell. Attendees will gain insight into the process of developing a technology solution and content strategy that invites many voices and perspectives into the interpretative conversation. Participants will be able to identify the thinking, rationale, approach, and lessons-learned which drove the Museum’s platform and content development, and reflect on the strategies which might best fit their own institution.

Wednesday, November 6, 2019 Audio content for adults has gone through numerous changes and evolutions over the past years. The old standard of the narrator-driven tour has been replaced by interview-centric, non-curator, crowd-sourced, podcast-style, and so many other approaches. Now, younger visitors are reaping the benefits of those experiments – and so are the adults that accompany them – as the popularity of the “Family Tour” has grown, replacing the “Kids’ Tour”. We will examine two projects, one each from The Jewish Museum (New York, NY) and The National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), Both intended to create audio content that appeals to and engages younger visitors while also creating opportunities for interaction between them and the adults that are visiting with them. In each case, we will begin with how the goals for the project were set. From there, we will discuss the thinking behind the each creative approach, and the decisions driving the range of narrative styles present in these tours. Discussion of the production and feedback process will follow and, finally, we will assess how the projects met expectations, and address lessons learned. Keeping the discussion on track will be the Producer/Writer/Editor of the projects. Session Type30-Minute Session (Presentation or Case Study) TrackExperience Chatham House RuleNo Key OutcomesBy exploring the thinking behind each of these three projects, attendees will gain insight into a range of creative approaches to audio storytelling for young audiences. Attendees will learn about challenges, obstacles, and lessons learned from the process. Attendees will also become familiar with best and next practices for designing audio tours for families and will learn practical tips for setting strategies, making decisions, course corrections, and evaluating audio projects for this audience.
