MD North Forum, Champney Treasure House, Beverley, Friday 27 June
Our museum forums offer you “a professional day out” – a chance to catch up with your museum colleagues in the region, visit an interesting venue, get the most out of being at a site, hear some interesting case studies – and enjoy being out in a different museum with different colleagues!
Forums usually start with tea and coffee from 10am and introductions from 10:30am. A delicious, complimentary lunch is provided. Meetings usually finish around 3:30-4pm.
Every forum will involve a chance to view and discuss at least one aspect of the host site, hear short case studies from different speakers, and network with colleagues.
The theme for the day is diversifying income streams and cross sector working. The agenda is:
10:00-10:30 Arrival and Refreshments
10.30-11:00 Visit to Treasure House Registry Office, with Tim Woodward, Strategic Registrations Manager/ Superintendent Registrar
11:00-11:45 MD North Update, Liz Denton, Museum Development Adviser, Museum Development North

15:15-15:30 Closing Discussion, MDN Thanks & Signposting, Liz Denton, Museum Development Adviser, Museum Development North
There is also an optional opportunity to visit the Guildhall at the end of the day, a regular filming venue.
Whilst we hope there’s something in the plan for the day that appeals to you, we often find that it’s the unexpected and spontaneous conversations that spark most ideas and opportunities! So, join us for a refreshing, professional day out and see what fresh thinking you can gain.
