What Museums Can Learn from Casinos, Theme Parks, Sports, and More, with Renée Hampton
What could museums learn right now — from their competitors?
What’s happening out there that museums should know about? How can museums compete with a sports venue that has 18,000 seats, each with its own interactive controller? What do IP, KPI, and F&B mean? What if museums went out and learned from theme parks, advertising, corporate centers … and even casinos?
Renée Hampton (Strategic Partnerships Manager, Electrosonic) discusses “What Museums Can Learn from Casinos, Theme Parks, Sports, and More” with MtM host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio).
Along the way: eye tracking, Donkey Kong, and Cirque du Soleil.
Talking Points:
1. What sports experiences … can teach museums
2. What theme parks … can teach museums
3. What advertising activations … can teach museums
4. What corporate briefing centers … can teach museums
5. What casinos … can teach museums
