Gallery and museum professionals are often on the vanguard of institutional and cultural change. How are you leading and innovating?
We want to hear stories about new ways of operating within and outside of your institution’s walls. What have you learned? Submit for an opportunity to share your obstacles and successes with colleagues gathered from coast to coast to coast. We understand the labour required to do this work and look forward to learning from you. Case studies can elaborate on programs, exhibitions, partnerships, and best practices.
Selected Candidates will present at the 2025 GAME Conference on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, Vancouver, British Columbia between June 5-7, 2025. Presenters should prepare a 30-minute presentation with an additional 15 minutes for questions and an open discussion. They will receive a discounted registration fee for the full conference of $395.
