Keynote

Minnesota's museums are essential contributors to the vibrancy of communities. A 2012 University of Minnesota study demonstrated the economic value of museums to the state. How do these findings apply to your museum? This lively and interactive keynote address presented the study results and engaged the audience in conversations regarding the role museums play in tourism efforts in their own communities.
