"Acknowledge failure as part of learning, not a source of shame" A great take-away from Ash Mann's talk just now at #MuseTech25

How many of our followers sadly can relate to this slide?? #MuseTech25

Our next talk is all about accessibility with Alison Bean from the British Museum "Users expect their own section or page" "Visitors won't feel represented if their specific disability or condition is not listed" #MuseTech25

#MuseTech25 Next up is Stephanie Clark, Head of Strategic Services, Substrakt and Graeme Ellis, Head of CRM, Science Museum Group A great insight into how the Science Museum transformed group bookings across five museums. "This was as much an internal project as it was a technical one"
