Description
Join this 90-minute exploration of the interpretive planning process as
it relates to visitor experiences, educational opportunities, and
interpretation in informal learning institutions. Interpretive planning
specialist Marcella Wells will address the critical components of an
interpretive plan and engage participants in online interaction about
their specific questions related to visitor experience planning in their
institution. After participating in this webinar, attendees will be
better able to:

*	Articulate the rationale for visitor experience planning 
*	Describe a basic visitor experience/interpretive planning
process in terms of questions to be addressed and logical format 
*	Set specific goals for planning in their home institution 

Who Should Attend
Depending on the size and organization of your institution, planning for
exemplary visitor experiences will reside in different locations of the
institution and with various staff. Audiences for this webinar may
include exhibit developers, planners of all types (interpretive,
educational, master, strategic), educators and interpreters,
administrators and management who are concerned with institutional
planning at-large, marketing staff, curators and anyone else whose work
contributes to the visitor experience.
