AIM Conference 2024
Early bird ticket sales close Friday 26 April!
Where and when
Thursday 13 and Friday 14 June 2024, Black Country Living Museum.
AIM Conference 2024 explores the indispensable role that museums play in weaving our communities together, driving economic vitality, and nurturing an appreciation for our shared history. We’ll celebrate this pivotal role and ask, “How can heritage organisations contribute to the development of thriving communities?”
Why attend?
- Approachable, friendly and practical, AIM’s conference is for anyone working in the heritage sector and we welcome colleagues from all career stages and from all types and size of heritage organisations from right across the UK, not just independents.
- Insights from museums like yours with a mix of keynotes, panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions will inspire you across two days, along with breaks for networking and browsing the supplier Expo.
- Plus the social events – an informal networking event on Wednesday evening at the Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre in Dudley and our Thursday evening social is hosted by Black Country Living Museum with fish and chips, drinks in the pub and the chance to explore this wonderful venue after-hours.
