@museumnext.com Is there some way in the conference 'system' where there is discussion? I'm watching the #museumnextforecastsummit videos a day later and can't seem to find the feed (if there is one??).

2/2: Liking thist: "Let disruption be your practise, let curiosity be your method, let accountability be your compass, let people, not precedent, be the measure". Maybe it's the idea that "Disruptive and adaptive leadership force clarity. What's working? What's not? And what's getting in the way?"

Question from the floor: how are the staff??

Secretary Bunch has been very communicative

Have been running a month-long education program for all staff to share decisions, participate and provide answers. They also have policies to guide them

(the US) Public wants museums to be neutral, musuems are not neutral...

Relevance is the key here for young people. They may trust, but don't see museums as relevant to them...

This is US data, not the same in Australia (I'll have to dig out that data)
