MCN 2026 Board Cohort
Cris Concepcion
Senior Director of Product & Technology, The Obama Foundation
Cris Concepcion is the Senior Director of Product & Technology at The Obama Foundation, where he oversees teams of software engineers, product managers, data strategists, and content specialists responsible for all audience-facing technology at the Obama Presidential Center. This includes web, digital signage, interactive exhibits, and digital asset management.
This is his first role in the GLAM space. Prior to joining the Foundation, he led tech teams supporting voter protection at the DNC during the 2020 election, iOS app teams at Wayfair, and platform teams that built the O’Reilly Learning Platform at O’Reilly Media. It was his experience at O’Reilly Media, where the company’s conferences acted as platforms for spreading ideas and innovation, that gave him an appreciation for the impact of events like MCN.
Cris is also a lifelong lover of museums. His “origin story museum” is the Ayala Museum in Manila, where, as a child, he learned the history of his birthplace through models and dioramas. (He continues to believe that dolls and action figures are an underdeveloped medium for history education.) He and his wife live in Boston, Massachusetts, and have been multi-year supporters of the MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and more recently became members of the Boston Athenaeum. He looks forward to working with fellow board members to continue building this special community of practitioners, educators, and experimenters.
Haydn Corrodus
Digital Consultant
Haydn Corrodus is a social and digital strategist, consultant, speaker, and community builder with more than seven years of experience helping cultural and nonprofit organizations strengthen their approach to digital engagement.Haydn has worked with more than 400 cultural organizations in the UK and United States, including Southbank Centre, Brooklyn Museum, and the National Civil Rights Museum.
Earlier in his career, Haydn worked on campaigns for global brands including Coca-Cola and Unilever before bringing that experience into the cultural sector. He was part of the founding team of Arts Council England’s Digital Culture Network and has served as a Tech Advisor for the Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Program.
Community-building is central to Haydn’s work. He founded the Cultural One Month Mentor Scheme to create opportunities for arts marketers and museum professionals to learn from one another, develop their careers, and build meaningful professional connections.
Haydn is also a regular speaker and facilitator on social media, digital strategy, emerging technology, and the future of digital engagement in culture. He has spoken at MuseumNext, contributed to The Art Newspaper and Museum magazine, and served as a guest lecturer for the Royal Academy of Arts Executive Master’s Program.
At the heart of his work is a belief that digital should do more than expand reach; it should help cultural organizations build stronger relationships, share knowledge, and inspire local and global audiences.
Kevin Kane
Software Developer, North Carolina Museum of Art
Kevin Kane’s primary work is in software development for interpretive exhibition technologies as well as systems design and data engineering for initiatives in museum-wide data infrastructure. He has been with the North Carolina Museum of Art since 2018 and has also consulted on immersive technology feasibility and installations for various small- to mid-sized art institutions. Recently, he has focused on designing interactive applications that deepen context for permanent collection objects and offer various modes of engagement for visitors.
As a museum tech professional, he is interested in responsibly reducing the encumbrances of interactive technology, thinking of computing as a scaffold for constructing edifying experiences with artifacts, and broadening representation and narratives within exhibit media.
Kevin currently serves as co-chair of MCN’s Educational and Interpretive Media Special Interest Group (SIG), in which he facilitates discussion among museum professionals working at the intersection of technology, learning, interpretation, and advocacy for visitor connections to heritage topics. His focus has been on creating opportunities for members to connect around practical challenges, emerging technologies, and sustainable approaches to digital heritage interpretation and educational enrichment.
