Ready Aim Build

A Museum Planning Workshop
Wednesday, March 5, 2024,
8:30am–4:30pm

During this full-day workshop, our multidisciplinary collective of museum experts provide a roadmap of best-practices to guide you through your museum capital project with lessons gleaned from decades of experience in projects like yours. Delivered through a mix of presented content, targeted activities, and open dialogue, our industry experts in institution planning, design, engineering, costing, and construction will lead you through the critical steps of a successful capital project–from inception through to opening day and beyond. As always, the session includes a special guest speaker from an institution who has been in your shoes before! Leave with an intimate knowledge of a time-tested process that will lead to success on your next project. Box lunch provided to participants.

Attendance is limited to forty (40) people. The content covered in this workshop is specifically intended for museum professionals and professionals working in the historic preservation sector. Workshop attendees must be registered for the 2024 Building Museums Symposium.

Once you complete the interest form, submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. If your submission is accepted, we will follow up about registration for this unique workshop, and you will be invoiced separately. Your responses here will be shared with workshop presenters. Thank you!
