This
workshop will demystify the “buzz words” to provide
an overview of current trends in technology. Beginning with
broadstroke concepts such as CRM, Web 2.0 and Open Source, we’ll
discuss how technology is changing the business paradigm for
the arts as well as the expectations of our audiences. By drawing
on examples from the arts community, we’ll examine the
“nitty gritty” of CMS, social media, RSS, social networking,
Second Life, and mobile technology. Whether you’re a technophile
or technophobe, this workshop will spotlight tools to assist
you in pursuing your mission and engaging your audiences. |
