Since lockdown, the need for strategic thinking in museums is greater than ever. In this online live panel discussion, we consider the relationship between directorial and digital leadership in museums, and how a more integrated approach might be developed between the two in order to improve overarching strategic direction. We ask: how can digital leaders achieve greater agency and autonomy in museums? Panelists will include Effie Kapsalis (Senior Digital Program Officer American Women’s History Initiative, Smithsonian Institution, US), and John Stack (Digital Director, Science Museum Group, UK).
