Founding Director of the Center for the Future of Museums and alum from our January 2010 certificate course, Elizabeth Merritt, just released the 4th annual report called TrendsWatch 2015.
In this year’s edition she delves into:
- Open data
- The rise of ethical consumerism, powered by the web & by social media
- Personalization of products, services, communications and experiences
- Rising sea levels
- Wearable technology in all its permutations
- Slow culture
Each section introduces the trend, what it means for society in general and museums in particular, gives examples of organizations adapting to the trend, and suggests how museums might want to respond.
TrendsWatch 2015 will also be available as a print edition in the AAM Bookstore sometime in March. Check their webpage for updates.
