In the past few weeks, we’ve seen an unprecedented wave of media buzz around “NFTs,” a.k.a non-fungible-tokens. In light of these headlines and hype, today there are more questions, concerns, and unknowns than there are answers about the ways in which NFTs may impact museums. While recent news has begun to illuminate the potential applications of NFTs in arts and culture, this technology also comes with a number of environmental repercussions and other obstacles that must be explored.

Join Brendan Ciecko (CEO @ Cuseum), Mark Sabb (Senior Director of Innovation, Marketing & Engagement @ Museum of the African Diaspora), Holly Shen (Cultural Producer + Former Deputy Director @ San Jose Museum of Art) & Clara Blume (Head of Open Austria Art + Tech Lab @ Open Austria) for a webinar conversation about NFTs and their potential impact on museums. This discussion will bring together various perspectives from the museum, art, and technology sectors to unpack the topic of NFTs, discuss concerns, and share ideas about the potential implications and opportunities for cultural organizations. We’re still only beginning to understand how NFTs may impact museums - join us for an educational conversation with the main goal of helping prepare us all as this topic evolves.

About this webinar

On-demand conversations for cultural organizations

Cuseum hosts a regular series of webinars and roundtables bringing together leaders from museums, zoos, aquariums, gardens, performing arts venues, and alumni associations. These conversations dig into the practical challenges of running modern membership and engagement programs — from rolling out digital memberships and mobile apps to navigating reopening, marketing in a noisy landscape, and using data to retain more members.

How Cuseum helps

Cuseum is an end-to-end engagement platform built specifically for museums, cultural attractions, and membership organizations. Our products span four core areas, and most customers start with one and expand over time as their digital strategy matures.

Digital membership cards

Replace plastic cards with mobile-wallet passes that members can save to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, update in real time, and use for tap-to-scan entry. Reduce printing and shipping costs while giving members a faster, more modern experience.

Mobile apps and audio guides

Branded mobile experiences for tours, exhibits, wayfinding, and self-guided storytelling. Multilingual support, accessibility features, and integrations with ticketing and ecommerce keep visitors engaged from arrival to return visit.

Member engagement and retention

Push notifications, SMS, email, and member portals work together to drive renewals, surface upcoming programs, and re-engage lapsing members. Built-in analytics show what's working so teams can iterate quickly.

CRM and ticketing integrations

Cuseum connects with Tessitura, Altru, Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, ACME, AudienceView, and dozens of other systems so member data, ticketing, and digital experiences stay in sync without manual exports.
