THE CONFERENCE
THE COURAGE TO CHANGE
Changing ourselves or bringing about change? Pfff, that’s tough.
We are often afraid of change, even if it can be good for us. What does change mean? What does change mean in the life of an institution? Are a vision and a good team enough? This year, we would like to prove that museums, like many actors in society, are creative, resilient and can navigate these tumultuous times by continuously renewing themselves. We do this with curiosity, openness, courage and empathy.
We don’t only talk about change, we ourselves change a bit: on both days of the conference we will be organizing live roundtable discussions with prominent figures from the international museum world, museum directors who dared to shake up and turn the institutions they run upside down along their own vision. And, as a result , the whole organization has been transformed and become a model for other museums.
Furthermore, we explore the relationship between museums and the creative industries, present amazing digital innovations and the impact of technological development on museums, and, as in the previous two years, focus on museums and society – inclusive museums, museums and climate action and digital transformation.
