Networking and Advice

The Ambience Networking Lounge offers a dedicated, comfortable space for museum and heritage professionals to connect and engage with like-minded peers.

This year, the Lounge centres on the theme of the Visitor Journey, the key concept that unites all of us working in the cultural sector. The Lounge invites attendees to reflect on their role within this journey and explore the resources and benefits available through networking opportunities with our Sector Support Organisations.

In addition to networking sessions, Clinic + Caffeine advice clinics will once again be hosted by Stephen Spencer + Associates. In these one-on-one, 15-minute consultations, you’ll receive a tailored action plan designed to elevate your organisation’s goals, unlock new opportunities, and enhance the visitor experience.

Further details about the advice clinic and networking sessions will be published in the new year.
