Industry Update Jan 2023

2023 is shaping up to be a year of growth and excitement in the industry. "In-person" conferences are happening again, new museum build projects are back on schedule, and tourism is projected to continue its steady increase post-pandemic with more countries reopening for the first time (China & Japan for example). What makes our industry so exciting is the community surrounding cultural institutions. Museums, vendors, donors, governments, and of course the visitors, together shape what a museum experience can look like. Below you will find some goings-on with our allies in the space and groups that we admire and respect for the work they do. Check out what they are up to for a taste of how we at Guru Experience Co. view the future of the digital landscape of cultural institutions.
