The Call for Sessions for Building Museums™ 2019 is Now Open!

We are actively seeking session proposals that discuss museum projects of interest to small to medium-sized institutions.

Session proposals should address one or more of the following topics:

  • Leadership roles in museum building projects
  • Strategic and master planning
  • Budget and business planning
  • The visitor experience
  • Collections care and facility design
  • Design and pre-construction processes
  • Architect and contractor selection
  • Fundraising
  • Project communication – both internal and external
  • Dealing with existing infrastructure and historic preservation
  • Sustainable design
  • Challenges during “life after opening”

We’re looking for sessions that provide a clear and focused discussion of a specific project, bring a diverse range of participants to the table to exchange views, and can stimulate questions and conversations among the attendees.

The best-received and most informative sessions actively engage the participants and share “real world” experiences in the development of museum building projects.
