Post Congress Reports

The International Museum Leadership Congress (IMCC) brings museum leaders and design professionals together in some of the most prestigious cultural venues worldwide to discuss and share their experiences on projects in a safe space. We have produced the post-congress report to allow attendees to reflect on their time at IMCC and also as a valuable reference for future projects.

The report would not have been possible without the editorial work of Ann Curtis & the MuseumInsider team, along with design work from Arne Kvorning and the Kvorning team.

Edinburgh 2024 Report

  • “IMCC's unique mix of sessions on the planning, commissioning, delivering and operating of major capital transformation projects and the insightful explorations of current debates and trends - plus the calibre of its attendees - have made it the most essential industry forum of the year.”

    — Jim Broughton

  • “The best museum conference I’ve attended in my 35 years working in the sector. The caliber and quality of the session topics is very high, and the attendees are an impressive group of decision makers from both the museum side and the supplier side of our industry. The networking opportunities are excellent, and I’ve had the chance to chat informally with people with whom I’d never get to meet in the course of my day to day work. The site visits are extremely useful as well as lots of fun. So, its fair to say that IMCC has expanded my mind and my contacts! The behind the scenes tour of the Natural History Museum in Berlin was a real highlight…I’ll never forget sipping a flute of champagne underneath the dinosaur skeleton!”

  • “The IMCC has become one of the most important forums globally for those designing, delivering and operating cultural venues. I have attended for many years as the event never fails to provide fantastic opportunities for learning, networking and knowledge sharing with colleagues from across the sector, and the bonus that all this takes places in interesting places and beautiful venues.”

  • “The large family that forms IMCC drives and helps shaping the future of our international museum construction community during a time of unique challenges, it has become the lighthouse for current and future museums.”
