Kudos to NTEN for breaking the template on the typical type of events it has hosted. The Leading Change Summit was more intimate (several hundred people), participatory and interactive, intense, and stimulating. Often, facilitation teams are brought together by an event host.

Gladwell’s assertion that social movements are based on tight ties and online efforts on, say, Facebook, are participatory efforts based on loose ties is simply not true. all make it harder to engage in that kind of daily interaction – and weaken our communities.

We are increasing the number of interactive elements in the galleries, and we haven't found a clear way to say to people, "touch this but don't touch that." As we make the museum more family-friendly in a number of ways (activities, casual spaces, interactive bits), we have a lot more kids in the galleries. Focus on family audiences.

I love playing host to friends, but I clam up in big crowds, never go to happy hour, and don't know how to flirt. The trick is to find the things that encourage others to judge you as welcoming and worthy of positive interaction. I've been thinking recently about how I originally got interested in talking to strangers in museums.

You make them comfortable interacting on their own, and then start providing opportunities to connect with others. There are some parties where hosts go out of their way to welcome guests individually and to introduce them to others via shared interests - making sure Susie the winemaker meets George the restauranteur and so on.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? Artists and administrators grapple with the shifting roles of institutions as hosts and incubators for creative work.

Programs to encourage visitor-visitor interaction, however, don’t suffer these challenges. Retrain floor staff to be party hosts. Tags: participatory museum visitors. How could this happen?
