Since 2009, MuseumNext has brought together those doing the most interesting work in the world of museums to share best practice, inspiring ideas and the latest trends.
More then 100,000 delegates have learned with us over that time, and the world’s most exciting museums use our events to offer their staff continued professional development.
At MuseumNext, the world of ideas comes directly to you. No airports, hotels, or time away from your family — just world-class speakers, live and online, sharing insights you can put into action immediately. And with every session recorded, you can watch when it suits you, on your own schedule.
We know that training budgets are under pressure, especially in the cultural sector. That’s why our virtual conferences are designed to make professional development accessible. For the cost of a single in-person trip, your entire team can gain fresh ideas and practical strategies that will make a lasting difference in your work.
Your day is already full. That’s why our sessions are short, focused, and easy to fit around the rest of your responsibilities. Join live when you can, or catch up later with recordings and transcripts — so learning works around you, not the other way around.
Our global network means you’ll hear from voices you won’t find anywhere else — curators, marketers, educators, and innovators from every corner of the museum world. Whether you’re looking for bold new approaches or practical case studies, you’ll discover perspectives that broaden your horizons and spark fresh thinking.
When you attend MuseumNext, you’re not just watching talks — you’re joining a community. You’ll earn certificates that showcase your commitment to professional growth, and you’ll become part of a global network of museum professionals who return to our conferences month after month.
Museum conferences that offer great insights into the digital work of colleagues from around the world!
Top-notch Museum Conferences. All the talks I attended were informative and valuable, giving me not only aspirational motivation but also a lot of practical, applicable advice and insights. I can't wait for next year!
The MuseumNext conferences, whether it is live or digital, always manage to gather a great variety of people and speakers. It is always very accessible, held in a friendly including spirit which promotes good dialogue and discussions between speakers and audience. You're always looking forward to attending the next museum conference or gathering.
I absolutely loved the format of pre-recorded videos followed by live Q&A. It's the best approach to virtual conferences I've seen so far. The backchannels and discussion forums stimulated the networking experience. I appreciate the archived videos, which I have accessed several times since the museum conference. Bravo!
