cultural institutions to effectively use in-house promotions and
media and public relations to raise awareness of their collections.
Speakers will discuss promotional materials, including newsletters,
brochures, and annual reports; branding; media relations and writing
a press release; and designing and using websites effectively. A
panel of media experts will conclude the program with presentations
