Much has happened since the publication of the Museums Association’s 2019 Empowering Collections report, which called for museums, funders and policy-makers to work together to ensure that museum collections are empowering, relevant and dynamic. While progress has been made in some areas, there is still more work to be done.

During this vital in-person conference panel demonstrations and practical talks will…

• introduce the MA’s updated work in this area
• support you to put Empowering Collections into practice in your museum
• explore key themes from the paper, including democratising collections, rationalisation and disposal, and future priorities such as AI
• discuss new innovations in online collections and decolonisation, as well as storage solutions.

This one-day event is a must for…

• museums undertaking a collections audit
• anyone working in collections management
• documentation officers and managers
• those working in collections access
• curators working in audience participation with collections
• small museums with no specific collections management role.

We aim to present a diverse range of speakers from across the UK and internationally at our one-day conferences. If you are interested in speaking at one of our events, or have a project you’d like to see explored, please tell us more by emailing the events team.
