This day-long programme of workshops, presentations and discussion is aimed at the non-public-facing exhibition staff, registrars, collection managers and technicians working behind the scenes in galleries and museums across the motu. It is an opportunity to come together to celebrate the hidden mahi being done in the sector. By sharing knowledge in this open and friendly forum, we hope to foster collegiality, identify common issues, learn new or refresh existing skills and think about ways of working together to make better use of shared resources.
