Is there a physical venue for the AAM Live Webinar Series?

Nope! The Live Webinar Series takes place entirely over the Internet. You attend from any web connection, interacting with speakers and colleagues in a lively and meaningful manner - from anywhere.

What can I expect during an AAM Live Webinar?

During each AAM Live Webinar, you will hear and interact with our distinguished panelists and colleagues from across the museum community. Each online seminar includes opportunities to ask panelists questions in real time, and share experiences, resources and ideas with other participating colleagues.

With the support of partners at LearningTimes, webinar facilitators will engage the panelists and participants alike in interactive activities, discussions, polls and other interactive exercises that maximize engagement and the sharing of knowledge that can be put to use at your museum immediately.

If I can't attend the live sessions, is it still worth my while participating?

Without a doubt! The live sessions are one part of the overall experience. We record all of the webinars, and offer discussion forums for interacting with participating colleagues at any time. Furthermore, you get access to the webinar recording for at least six months after the live session!

What are the basic technical requirements to participate?

• A PC or Mac (OS X 10.2 or higher) computer with a standard Internet connection (56 kbps or higher)
• The free Flash Player 8 or higher
• Speakers or headphones connected to your computer

Do I need a microphone or camera?

You will be able to submit questions and share ideas and resources by entering them during the live event in a specified chat box that you will see on screen.

Will the events be recorded?

Yes, each AAM webinar will be recorded, and all registered participants receive access to review the recording for at least six months following the live event.
