It has been almost three weeks since we concluded bbcon 2018 in Orlando, and we’re still wrapping our head around the terrific content seen and inspiring conversations overheard amongst over 2,000 attendees from across the social, private and public sectors. With over 275 sessions over three days, opportunities for learning were plentiful.

In my experience, innovation is about flexibility, capacity, and collaborative relationships. In the 1990s, we decided we wanted to engage a teen audience. We created a teen arts council, invested in staff, and invested in programming. And the guards were watching them; they didn't trust teens.

Within 24 hours of the news, the EMPSFM staff hosted a tribute event at a local music venue and mounted an exhibit of Jackson's iconic glove/jacket along with archival concert video in a free public area (appropriately called the Sky Church).

But with the Internet now accessible from public libraries, cyber cafés and cell phones, getting online is easier than ever for nearly anyone. Imagine a typical Internet surfer and your first thought might be of a teen or young adult, not a grandparent or retiree. But there is still the issue of income.

Yesterday, I did a workshop with some local teenage girls in an after school program. For me, the experience changed my perspective on what teens want from social environments and encounters. It's easy to forget that teens are most comfortable being social with those they already know, not people who are unknown to them.

But there’s another kind of threshold fear I care about: the one that keeps museums from fully embracing and jumping into new ways of engaging the public, new ways of including visitors. We all have problems getting in the door—they’re just different doors. How do we turn those curious parties into visitors and users?

So we wanted to primarily address that issue: how can we pursue creative, innovative ideas for getting food out there that's affordable, that's local, that's fresh, and health-supportive, and then provide under that a foundation of education. We do a lot of work with teens in the summertime.

It's very simple to calculate: you take the total operating expenses for your public-facing efforts and divide by the number of people who walk through the door. How much do we value brand awareness outside of local markets? Many museums run outreach programs at a variety of levels of local to global reach.

This is public information. And I know some of my clients are very local. They do very local work, and it’s only the small local foundations that are interested, at least initially, in funding them.

And so my question is, why are we keeping them away? Why aren't we developing our audiences?"
