​The rules of engagement for museums were written in another era, when display cases and dioramas were cutting-edge technology. Today, audiences move fluidly between TED Talks, Netflix documentaries, and immersive experiences like Meow Wolf or Disney.

In this Futurespaces session, Josh Goldblum, Founder and CEO of Bluecadet and host of Futurespaces, will open with a short presentation exploring how museums can redefine their role in a world where the knowledge, edu-entertainment, and experience economies overlap.

What unique value can cultural institutions offer when visitors have endless ways to learn, feel, and connect?

Following the presentation, we’ll open the floor for a group conversation, inviting participants to share perspectives, challenges, and ideas about designing exhibitions for an attention economy and imagining what comes next for the future of culture.
