Programme background

Over two days, more than 30 speakers will explain how you can promote effective Collections Management, lead change and innovation, focus on core values and look outward to build new partnerships. The conference programme, associated exhibition, expert advice sessions and project updates will give you the skills you need to support your organisation in the years to come.

Supporting your CPD: With six specialist seminars on key skills, the programme is strongly focused on CPD. Every session delivers specific learning objectives so delegates can make a real impact when they return to work. Some of the outcomes include: Becoming a more effective manager; Why it is important to focus on sustainability; and Understanding the key elements of information management.

The seminars will also help you understand: How to manage risk more efficiently; The basics of using technology in museums, archives and libraries; and Why and how to rationalise collections.

They will be complemented by Keynote Presentations delivered by internationally-recognised expert speakers. These will provide context and expose delegates to new ideas and concepts. The number of Quickfire Sessions has been doubled from last year to meet demand and enable more delegates to make short presentations.

In addition, the SPECTRUM Community Meeting is being expanded to a full half day on the afternoon of Tuesday 24 June. This will provide more time to discuss the SPECTRUM Standard, the growth in SPECTRUM’s international adoption, its key benefits, and successful future development.
