IMA Annual Conference
2025 Irish Museums Association Annual Conference
Collections in Transition: the life cycle of objects
5-6 March 2025, Tralee
The 2025 IMA Annual Conference, Collections in Transition - the life cycle of objects, will take place in Tralee, Co Kerry, on Wednesday 5 March and Thursday 6 March, supported by Kerry County Museum.
This conference will explore the challenges, opportunities, and ethical considerations associated with the life cycle of collections, addressing themes relating to stewardship and policy development, innovative approaches to collection management and access, community engagement and shared ownership, among others. It will invite delegates to, through discussions, consider what are the ethical implications and management strategies associated with these processes within the museum sector: how do museums navigate these complex phases while maintaining ethical integrity and public trust?
The call for session proposals is now open, with the window for proposals closing at noon, 21 October 2024.
