At MuseumNext we will be using projects and goals suggested by participants as the starting point for the workshop. All attendees should come with a particular project or goal in mind against which you wish to develop participatory techniques. We will select 5-10 representative projects that will serve as the basis for our work together over the two days.

Even if you don't have a project to share, you will be encouraged to actively participate by leading an unconference session on a specific participatory topic of interest and by contributing energetically to the projects at hand.

This event is relevant anyone interested in exploring museums and galleries can work with their audiences to create more engaging, more innovative, and more powerful experiences.

MuseumNext will be led by the American Museum Consultant Nina Simon well known for writing and speaking about creating participatory, dynamic, audience-centered museum spaces and Jim Richardson, Managing Director of arts marketing agency Sumo, who has shared his vision of evolving arts audiences at conferences across Europe.
