The AIM (Association of Independent Museums) annual Conference will be held at Black Country Living Museum on 13 & 14 June 2024.
This year’s conference theme of ‘Heritage: At the heart of the community’ will see colleagues from across the UK explore the vision for independent Museums as we explore the indispensable role that museums play in weaving our communities together, driving economic vitality, and nurturing an appreciation for our shared history.
We’ll celebrate this pivotal role and ask, “How can heritage organisations contribute to the development of thriving communities?”
Sessions will cover innovative community engagement projects, growing your audience, co-curation and co-creation, dementia friendly programming, developing an effective public engagement strategy, improving storytelling, addressing challenging topics with care, ‘gamifying’ young volunteering, building your online community and much, much more. As ever with AIM Conference, delegates can look forward to a schedule packed with inspirational and practical advice, debate and discussion.
As in previous years we are offering colleagues the opportunity to attend this year’s conference. All you need to do is complete an application and provide us with some information as to how you think this will be of benefit to you in your role here at BCLM.
