Recruiting the World: Mobile Strategy at the Smithsonian

What is "mobile"? What can it do for museums and their audiences? And,
where do we start? These are some of the fundamental questions the
Smithsonian is addressing as it integrates mobile platforms into its
strategic planning. From best practices to business models, this webinar
will touch on the highlights of SI Mobile's journey so far with the aim
of distilling and communicating the essential ingredients and principles
of mobile for museums in the age of social media.
