THE CONVERSATION
Why this session?
A remarkable collection cannot serve people who never discover it or do not feel invited. This session asks how museums can build a recognisable identity, reach Gen Z and other audiences, and turn a first visit into a lasting relationship.
In today's global context
Attention is fragmented across platforms and experiences. Museums everywhere are learning to communicate their value clearly while protecting scholarship and public trust.
Ten questions to explore
- What promise should a museum brand make?
- How do audience insights change the offer?
- Which barriers keep first-time visitors away?
- What makes a Gen Z invitation credible?
- How can stories travel across short-form media?
- Which partnerships extend reach without diluting purpose?
- How should museums design for repeat visits?
- What belongs in a multilingual content plan?
- Which measures show engagement beyond ticket sales?
- How can marketing budgets be planned before opening?
Key outcomes we hope to shape
- A museum audience and brand brief
- A practical framework for discovery, visits and return engagement
We welcome nominations from museum marketers, audience researchers, youth programmers and brand strategists and others with relevant experience. Speaker nominations are open.
