DO we have an evening keynote?

Fees were reduced to encourage smaller Museums to attend however, only three smaller Museums attended. What is the barrier here? Exclusivity. Can we do something to make it inclusive for smaller Museums with smaller budgets? Offering places to stay, for example. Increasing approachability.

Found them quite heavy and a hard audience to deliver to as couldn't see who you were speaking to. Needs to be more joyful and celebratory of the sector. Feels like half-addressing the issues discussed.

First speaker was controversial/shocking to some people. Would've been good to have more conversation. Addressing some really serious issues in New Zealand. Not done safely, could've been more of a warning or preparation beforehand given the subject.

Best practice session is a great idea as it helps feed into the notion that NZ is a museological leader, on the international stage - this came up in the leaders panel (it wasn't expected)

Things I’d like to see done, or done differently

-          Delegates list with job titles

-          Table topics or working lunches where you can select a table to sit at with other from your discipline

-          More interactive workshops where you can meet and share practice with peers from discipline

-          Use of digital platforms for asking questions

-          Plenary sessions could be more conversational (like Writers and Readers Week type sessions) rather than presentations

-          Be nice to showcase the talents of a very talented sector – could there be a Pecha Kucha type showcase for people to share their PhD thesis, photography, art, poetry, songs, stories – their creative work outside of “work” – it’s one of the things that makes our sector cool!

-          Because we’re hosting it here at Te Papa there will be lots of opportunities to give tours back of house and front of house. Need to think about how we can integrate this into the programme.

-          New Taiao Nature exhibition will have just opened, could we have a session looking at how Maatauranga Māori and science were woven together?

Let’s do some good for the sector while we are there

so that we might run an awesome event at Te Papa in May 2019.,  Further ideas welcome.  If you fancy helping out with the conference let me know

Good things that were supposed to be at MA 18 but didn’t happen

-          Table topics – did I miss it or did this never happen?

# data[].attributes.body
Good things from the MA 18

-          Some strong presentations from interesting people (Sacha McMeeking, Lizzie Conner, Ngai Tahu guys)

-          Conference dinner band with trumpeter was OBVIOUSLY a highlight. I like the idea of a dinner quiz for an icebreaker but it wasn’t well run.

-          I liked the vibe of the set up in the space, the Auckland one felt very corporate with its trade stalls, this was more sociable

-          Seemed to be a good number of women speakers though I haven’t actually done a count
