Fresh ideas from museums around the globe in your inbox each week
Virtual Conference
Museums are typically thought of as destinations to house and display art, artefacts and collections of cultural interest. But in an age of shortened attention spans, it’s becoming more obvious that museums can’t simply be something nice to look at — they must actively engage their visitors.
To do this, many institutions are turning to play, in its many forms, to both engage and educate those who walk through their doors.
The Museums, Games & Play Summit brings together museum professionals from around the globe to share best practice in creating engaging playful experiences both in the museum and online.
Fourteen years ago, we started MuseumNext to shine a spotlight on the most groundbreaking and imaginative work happening in museums.
Today we’re able to reach a global community of museum thinkers (more than 20,000 last year) with engaging and accessible virtual events.
I’m dedicated to ensuring that everyone attending our events has a great experience and that the time you spend watching our events will be valuable to you.
And I’m excited to welcome you to the Museums, Games & Play Summit in October. I know you’ll find it an inspiring few days.

The MuseumNext conferences, whether it is live or digital, always manage to gather a great variety of people and speakers. It is always very accessible, held in a friendly including spirit which promotes good dialogue and discussions between speakers and audience. You're always looking forward to attending the next conference or gathering.
Absolutely top-notch conference. 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!
