Koven J. Smith is a digital strategy consultant for museums and non-profits. His work includes 20 years of managing digital projects in leadership positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, and the Blanton Museum of Art and as a consultant working with the Smithsonian, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and many others. He has also performed sector-wide research on behalf of the Knight Foundation, the Texas Association of Museums, the Kress Foundation, and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
Koven has been MCN-ing for many years, and created Ignite MCN and the annual MCN karaoke blowout. He also thought of the name "Drinking About Museums," so it all kind of falls together. Additionally, he has served as adjunct faculty in the Arts Administration program at NYU and the Museum Studies program at Johns Hopkins University. He has been a principal investigator on the Horizon Report Museum Edition, a conference co-chair of the Museum Computer Network, and is currently a board member at the American Composers’ Forum, the Western Museums Association, and the education committee for the National Women's History Museum.
