Shape the Museums + Heritage Show, with submissions welcome from large institutions to freelancers until 30 November at 6pm.
The Museums + Heritage Show has opened a call for speakers, ahead of the bumper 2027 event next May.
Each year, the Show’s free programme of talks draws thousands of attendees, there to hear new ideas, honest reflections and practical advice from peers.
The call for speakers is a chance for professionals across the museums and heritage sector to bring to the event new voices, new ideas, and new approaches.
Sessions can cover successes with collections and exhibitions, cutting-edge digital innovation, sector-leading sustainability efforts, funding strategies, workforce skills, inclusion and community engagement.
“Some of the most popular sessions are those where people share what really worked, and even what didn’t,” said Museums + Heritage Show director Anna Preedy.
“This is a programme built by the sector, for the sector, and we’re excited to hear your ideas.”
All sessions are welcome, from large institutions sharing their flagship projects to freelancers with practical tips from the front line.
The Museums + Heritage Show 2027 will be free to attend, bringing together thousands of cultural professionals to connect, learn and share.
Speakers have said about their sessions: “It was so great to speak at the show and to have so many people attend as well. Thanks for accepting our pitch to speak! I have nothing but praise for the team we worked with.”
“I really enjoyed my panel and had a great time as an attendee. I learned a lot and had some great chats with peers from across the sector, as well as the many stands.”
“I had a great experience at the Show. It was very clear that the presentations are a huge draw for people, and I feel honoured to have played a small part in that.”
