We have spent countless hours with some of the best minds in academia and the for-profit world exploring ideas and developing educational programs for arts and culture organizations. Imagine if you had an hour with one of these experts.

Talk with an Expert gives you that opportunity. These small group videoconferences allow you to ask questions and engage directly with an expert.  Video and audio, text chat, feedback and other features ensure a robust two-way discussion. If you have a webcam or microphone, we’ll link you in directly so you can be seen and heard as well.

Participation is limited to a small group – only 12 logins – to allow for the highest level of interaction. Participants are welcome to invite their colleagues to join them around their computer. These sessions are recorded and made available to participants. Following the event you and your participating colleagues will also have access to the NAS staff to continue exploring your questions through the Help Desk.
