So far I am having fun at the Museums and the Web conference here in Denver, CO. This is my first time actually in Denver in probably around 20 years. (Wow, that makes me feel old).
Day one started with a bumpy ride into the airport thanks to the wind. Even felt a little nauseous. Then after checking into my hotel room (which is about the half the size of my condo), I walked over to Coors Field to watch the Rockies destroy the Mets. I am hoping the Padres might be able to do the same to both teams.
You can see the rest of my Coors Field pictures here.
I spent Wednesday learning how to write a survey, but unfortunately did not learn about evaluating the data because we ran out of time. After lunch, I thought long and hard about my Museum’s social media strategy as I tried to pinpoint what our followers got out of it besides links back to our web page. Sorry, but no pictures of the workshops (plus they would be of me sitting in a chair listening, not that exciting).
Once the workshops concluded, we all headed over to the Denver Art Museum for some drinks and tiny pizza bites. I avoided the oysters. I just could not bring my self to try one. After that, I met up with some friends and enjoy a lovely Thai dinner. I ate an entree and enjoyed 2 drinks, and it only cost me $13. My bedtime came soon after.
Today is when the rest of the conference begins. The opening speech felt much like a Valedictorian explaining how we should move forward with our lives after graduation. A good speech, but since I am not at the top of the decision-making chain there was not much I could apply to my Museum work. However, I am now off to learn about how others are using the web and how I can apply that to my job.
