COMMUNICATING THE MUSEUM PARIS
Since 2000, Communicating the Museum (CTM) is the world’s leading arts communications conference. Each year we gather communications professionals in a new cultural city.
Agenda organizes inspiring keynote speeches, engaging panel discussions and thought-provoking learning sessions addressing the latest trends in brand communications and digital strategies for the cultural sector. The event is widely recognized as a rare opportunity for peers from across the globe to meet, exchange ideas and be inspired by experts. After 17 years visiting some of the world’s greatest cities (New York, Sydney, Stockholm, Venice, Istanbul and many others), CTM is delighted to be returning home to Paris for its 18th edition.
The theme of this edition of Communicating the Museum is “The Power of Education”. Over four days, from 19 to 22 June at the Louvre and Grand Palais, Paris, 300 museum professionals will debate the changing role of education today, discussing new ideas and forging lasting partnerships.
50 speakers from over 15 countries will address the following questions: What are the new trends in museum learning? What should museums be doing about today’s most urgent political issues? How can each museum best serve the needs of its communities? How can you get educators, curators, and communicators to work together? What can museums learn from their public?
ICOM is a partner of Communicating the Museum Paris.
The CIDOC annual conference will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia, from 25 to 29 September 2017. There is constant progress in the field of documentation, offering a variety of tools used by today’s museums. Standards, technical tools, and intellectual methods offer many advantages for documentation practitioners. CIDOC’s annual conference proposes looking back at the evolution of documentation. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 15 April 2017. http://www.cidoc2017.com/432842000
ICOM ICFA’s next meeting will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the Hirschsprung Samling, from 17 to 19 September 2017 on the theme "Changing rooms?! Permanent displays and their storage". How can museums meet visitor expectations? How can curators keep the traditional displays and promote the art in storage at the same time? Please submit your abstract and short CV (max.1 page) by 23 April 2017 to ICFA Chair, Christoph Lind Call for Papers ICFA
ICOM MPR has scheduled its conference for 1 to 5 October in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on “Museums and the City: Marketing and Beyond”. Today, professional communication for museums is based on unique content, perfect formats and social framing. Marketing of museums in the future will have to be even more closely linked to location marketing (place, city, region, nation). MPR is accepting paper proposals for its 2017 conference by email: icommprsubmissions@gmail.combefore 21 April, 2017. http://mpr.icom.museum
