I spoke at the Motorcycle Industry Council’s 2017 annual meeting this November in Carson, California (near Los Angeles). Read my review here.

The MIC wanted me to “shake up” the audience.

I talked about Museum Hack and our experience attracting new visitors and customers to cultural organizations. I also spoke about the disruptive and innovative marketing techniques we use to bring in new audiences.

Historic Charleston Foundation

Me on stage at the Charleston Museum this February.

I spoke at the Charleston Museum on February 27th about my TEDx talk, Museum Hack, gave a Q&A, and some free hi-fives. I made two short videos about my weekend in Charleston, you can watch them both here.

AAM in St Louis

I gave a keynote speech and presentation for the Art Museum Marketing Association (AMMA) meeting the day before AAM started.

AMMA asked me to make an hour-long presentation to their senior members before AAM. I spoke with my colleague Ethan Angelica about Museum Hack, how we got started, and the impact we’re making. We also shared some of our special social media strategies.

Me speaking at QCFF-iD about Storytelling and Museum Hack methods.

I was a guest speaker at QCFF-iD in Quebec City from Sept 20th to 21st. It was one of my most recent speaking engagements. It was a great group but somewhat difficult as I was the only English speaker. You can see my full write-up on this blog post, including my favorite museums there.

SumoCon 2017

I spoke at SumoCon 2017 in Austin, Texas in the beginning of October. I really loved meeting fellow entrepreneurs at SumoCon, speaking about Museum Hack and meeting a sumo wrestling champion. Check out my notes and SumoCon review here.
