Meet the MCN 2019 Scholars! Each year MCN awards scholarships to 15 emerging leaders in the field of museum technology—and this is your chance to hear from them. In each session, 5 scholars deliver a series of lightning talks to present key findings and guiding questions from their current (or recently-completed) projects/research. From strategy to systems, content to the visitor experience, scholars share their diverse interests, expertise, and perspectives. Join us in this annual conference tradition to celebrate their work.
