The AIM (Association of Independent Museums) annual Conference will be held at Ushaw Historic House, Chapels and Gardens, and Beamish, The Living Museum of the North, Co Durham on 10 & 11 June 2026.
This year’s conference theme of ‘Independent advantage: Rethinking your museum operating model’ will see colleagues from across the UK explore; What defines a truly successful museum? This perennial question lies at the heart of this year’s conference. Drawing on groundbreaking new research into the sector’s most effective business models, it will unpack the essential strategies and practical steps your institution needs to succeed.
This year promises a dynamic mix of inspiration, practical advice, and sector-wide collaboration. Two days of learning, networking, and sharing strategies that will act as a catalyst for change. As ever with the AIM Conference, delegates can look forward to a schedule packed with inspirational and practical advice, debate and discussion.
We are offering up to 3 colleagues the opportunity to attend this year’s conference. All you need to do is complete an expression of interest and provide us with some information as to how you think this will be of benefit to you in your role here at BCLM.
