MuseumNext is a global conference on the future of museums. Since 2009 it has acted as a platform for showcasing best practice today to shine a light on the museum of tomorrow.
MuseumNext NYC will take place on 14-15 November 2016 with two days of curated presentations on the theme of Transformation.
This conference will bring together the disrupters and the change-makers, focusing on those who are transforming museums through action rather than theory.
The call for papers was open until the end of June.
Themes:
- Transforming Lives – How can museums have a positive social impact on the communities that they serve, changing lives, improving cities and acting as catalysts for change.
- Transforming Practices – How is best practice evolving to better meet the needs of a rapidly changing world, we are interested in examples of innovative practice from across the museum.
- Transforming Places – How are museums transforming their spaces to meet the needs of their audiences and how are they working with their audiences and external experts to achieve this.
