A little about us...

Since 2009, MuseumNext has brought together those doing the most interesting work in the world of museums to share best practice, inspiring ideas and the latest trends.

More then 100,000 delegates have learned with us over that time, and the world’s most exciting museums use our events to offer their staff continued professional development.

Why Virtual Conferences?

World-Class Ideas, Wherever You Are

At MuseumNext, the world of ideas comes directly to you. No airports, hotels, or time away from your family — just world-class speakers, live and online, sharing insights you can put into action immediately. And with every session recorded, you can watch when it suits you, on your own schedule.

Affordable Professional Development

We know that training budgets are under pressure, especially in the cultural sector. That’s why our virtual conferences are designed to make professional development accessible. For the cost of a single in-person trip, your entire team can gain fresh ideas and practical strategies that will make a lasting difference in your work.

Convenience and Flexibility

Your day is already full. That’s why our sessions are short, focused, and easy to fit around the rest of your responsibilities. Join live when you can, or catch up later with recordings and transcripts — so learning works around you, not the other way around.

Access to Experts and New Ideas

Our global network means you’ll hear from voices you won’t find anywhere else — curators, marketers, educators, and innovators from every corner of the museum world. Whether you’re looking for bold new approaches or practical case studies, you’ll discover perspectives that broaden your horizons and spark fresh thinking.

Recognition and Belonging

When you attend MuseumNext, you’re not just watching talks — you’re joining a community. You’ll earn certificates that showcase your commitment to professional growth, and you’ll become part of a global network of museum professionals who return to our conferences month after month.

Top-notch Museum Conferences. All the talks I attended were informative and valuable, giving me not only aspirational motivation but also a lot of practical, applicable advice and insights. I can't wait for next year!
