Conference 2023: The Power of Museums

The Museums Association’s (MA) annual Conference 2023 is the largest event of its kind in Europe, bringing together speakers from across the globe for a wide range of sessions covering practical advice and big ideas in workshops, spotlight sessions, networking and more.
