Museums spend a lot of time and money to launch a technology project or product. However, we often fail to put same resources into maintaining or sustaining digital projects. How can we, as museum technologists, humanize digital sustainability to demonstrate its importance? This session will explore strategies museums have implemented to maintain and grow ongoing technology initiatives. Panelists will present on case studies that illuminate and demystify approaches their institutions have taken in scaling, sustaining, or making the tough decision to phase out digital projects. The case studies represent a wide range of institutions, from large and well-resourced to smaller with limited budgets. In the second half of the session, panelists will use Slido to engage with the audience. The discussion will consider how practitioners may be able to apply such approaches to enable broader understanding of the vital role sustainability can play within their own institutions.
