**How might AI shape the future of Te Papa?**

Join us to hear Courtney Johnston - Te Papa CEO - talk about the museum and three areas where AI might help:

1. How might AI help (or hinder) Te Papa to build trust, stay relevant, have a voice, facilitate and participate in the ongoing conversation about who we are?
2. How might AI help (or hinder) Te Papa when it comes to providing exceptional visitor experiences in the future? Who might Te Papa be competing with in the future?
3. How might AI help or hinder Te Papa when it comes to ensuring long term financial sustainability? What new commercial opportunities might appear? Does AI present any threats to Te Papa’s commercial model?

We'll then break into groups and workshop the three challenge areas above. We'll use our collective AI knowledge, perspectives and imagination to think about the future of Te Papa.

The evening provides a chance for you to learn about Te Papa, apply AI thinking, and of course mix and mingle. You'll also be able to take the thinking back to your organisations.

We look forward to seeing you there!

At Paperkite (thanks!) at 5pm on Thursday 30 November 2023.
