MuseumNext 2015

19-21 April 2015

Geneva, Switzerland

 

The 2015 edition of MuseumNext will take place in the Swiss city of Geneva between 19 – 21 April 2015.

MuseumNext is Europe’s major conference on the future of museums. The event brings together delegates from around the world to discuss ‘what’s next?’ for the museum sector. The organizing committee is inviting the international museum community to participate and share excellent examples of today which shine a light on the museum of tomorrow.

The conference will be a dialogue about what’s next in all aspects of the museum, including architecture, exhibitions, technology, skills, collections, conservation, purpose and leadership. All presentations should deliver thought provoking insight, showcase innovative ideas, reveal ‘how to’ or even share stories of what not to do.
