Dear CIMCIM Community,

We hope that you are all well.

The CIMCIM CIMCIM Annual Meeting 2024 in México is approaching and will see an exciting programme. The conference will be hybrid (on-site and online) – and you can still register on the conference website.

While we wait for the Annual Meeting in México, there is a nice opportunity to visit – and revisit – the CIMCIM 2023 Annual Meeting in the Netherlands: Prospects and Challenges of Museum Accessibility, Diversity, and Equity. Thanks to conference Chair Giovanno Paolo Di Stefani and his team, recordings of the conference programme on 30 August–1 September 2023 are available on Vimeo: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3. Please, have a look!
