Conference
The EMYA annual conferences are distinct from other museum conferences in bringing together museum professionals who share the profound experience of building a new museum or completely transforming an existing one. They conferences are opportunities for benchmarking and networking, for sharing the hard-earned skills that the process of creating a new museum generates, and for exploring together the challenges that renewal poses, and the personal and institutional strengths it demands. They conferences are, each year, occasions for the collective celebrations of the continuous self-reflection, inventiveness, and innovation of our sector.More than 200 participants come together every year from across Europe. They meet to discuss points of view, themes and issues that affect museums and galleries. This year, 60 candidates from 27 countries are in competition for prestigious annual awards and the title of European Museum of the Year. Using inspiring stories, dramatic buildings and innovative solutions to make their collections shine and engage with diverse audiences, these museums and galleries represent a wide range of collections and approaches to interpretation and visitor service.
The event offers workshops, panels, interviews with candidates and a range of social gatherings in which to meet colleagues informally.
