Trials and Triumphs
Sharing practice across the museum sector
This practical conference aims to celebrate triumphs and amplify successes in museums, but also highlight the pitfalls and lessons learned from situations that didn’t go as planned.
The event will be physical/digital hybrid, with attendees able to attend either in person in Oxford or online via Zoom. Details for joining via Zoom will be circulated to digital attendees in early April (or if booking after this date, will be included in your order confirmation email).
