You may have seen some prolific conference posting here under #CBSydney2024 as I experimented on this site and a hashtag.
I learned lots! Blogpost here: musdigi.wordpress.com/2024/11/22/f...

On the homeward run of the conference. One hour and counting. Looking with dread at the sharpies and butchers paper...
#CBSydney2024
In a panel on thinking about what needs to happen to support gen Z entering the workplace and the beautiful statement from one of the young people noted to bring kindness to workplace interactions and onboarding.
Kindness. Simple, but powerful.

Data! More people going to #arts, but attending less frequently
2016 76% one time only attend
2023 81% one time only
Donors up generally since 2016
Micro donors ($10-100) are up 93%
Mid givers ($5-10K) have the most potential
#CBSydney2024
This was a fantastic session looking at skills, retention, and what's worryi#arta workers (the skills that is, not the tea break, although the food has been yummy!)
👏👏

Finally a blueskier at the conference. Give @bronb79.bsky.social a follow. She's awesome!
Again, I don't think these issues are confined to the #arts

Bit of a sobering read and applicable across many #GLAM and #arts organisations: paca.org.au/projects/adv...

OMG. What a day!
Learning more on Bluesky, conference updates, new followers, reconnecting 😥
And setting up #museumfreelancers starter pack, think I've got everyone now 🤞 Add more tmr as now💤 in Oz
Last day of #CBSydney2024 then a reflection blog post - it's been quite the learning journey...
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is hugely impressive in the #fundraising and #donor space
#museums #GLAM #CBSydney2024
Individuals are giving but the numbers of orgs they are giving to is decreasing ~5
And a shout out to Impacts research (are you here Colleen??)
#CBSydney2024
Cost of living as an issue. My research shows it's not actual cost of living but value for money. People are spending, but just being more choosy
#CBSydney2024
Authenticity is a theme this morning
#CBSydney2024
I think not understanding the barriers for visitors and non visitors is #1 problem for museums. And addressing them.
It's even more important than understanding motivations.
#CBSydney2024
Diminishing sources of philanthropy in US. Why?
1. Govt support rapidly declining 2. Competing organisations
3. The post-covid world
Org assessment:
1. SWOT analysis
2. Develop a plan
3. Community listening
Also, professional women are the next growing source of philanthropy
#CBSydney2024
Dinosaurs are the "gateway drug to natural history"

#CBSydney2024
"Every cultural organisation, large or small, has challenges - creating relevance, internal strife, audience engagement, diminishing sources of philanthropy"
-Sonia Winner, Cleveland Museum of Natural History
#CBSydney2024
A new vision "Sod you all" meaning we'll just get on with it, our way.
