Meet Up by Museum ConnectionsThe virtual meetings for professionals working in museums, cultural venues, and tourism sites.

A short-format session that connects you directly with those who are rethinking and shaping the cultural and tourism experiences of tomorrow. 

Each Meet Up opens with a presentation of concrete projects led by museums, cultural venues, or tourism sites engaged in innovation for visitor experience. You will discover real initiatives, design choices, and field experiments — valuable sources of inspiration to nourish your own thinking.

It continues with a discussion session between speakers and participants, where you can challenge ideas, share experiences, and ask questions directly to the speakers. 

In just one hour, you leave with new ideas, concrete insights, and above all the feeling of having been in direct contact with those driving change in the sector. 

This webinar is intended for professionals working in museums, cultural venues, and tourism sites. Participation from other professional backgrounds may be accepted upon approval by the organizer.

Meet Up #23 Treating international visitors differently - Changing approaches to balancing local engagement with tourists visits 

How can cultural organisations be welcoming to both their local community and holiday visitors, and should they treat these audiences differently? 
Considering financial and social challenges, which audience is the priority and how are organisations (and cities) adapting?

In this context, this Meet Up will discuss approaches to charging and incentives, the changing behaviours of audiences and museums, and tactics being tested right now by organisations across Europe in trying to strike the right balance for inclusivity and business sustainability.
