Sacramento Community Event

Interpretive Insights – Lighting the Way

Join us on Friday, August 8, for an Interpreter’s Crawl across downtown Sacramento. We’ll travel to several nearby museums and parks and hear from staff about their recent innovations and challenges.  Carpooling is encouraged between sites. Help light the beam of inspiration!

The day includes sessions at five Sacramento sites, news from NAI, opportunities to meet and network with other interpreters, and a chance to win some raffle prizes (raffle ticket sales benefit our Scholarship Fund). Lunch and snacks are included. You’re also invited to an optional Social Hour & Dinner Meetup afterwards, to keep the conversations flowing. We’ll walk to a nearby pub or restaurant. Bring cash or a card to purchase your own drinks and food
