was founded in 1967 with the purpose of supporting professionals who seek to
transform the way their cultural organizations reach, engage and educate their
audiences using digital technologies. Every year, MCN’s annual conference
explores topics of relevance to museum practitioners working with, or affected
by, digital media and technology. This year, the annual conference in New
Orleans will focus on how museums can use technology to emphasize inclusion,
accessibility, and agency, from a diverse range of perspectives.</span></p>
