It pushes institutions beyond traditional approaches and allows them to stand out in an evolving cultural landscape. But how far are museums willing to go? This theme invites participants to explore a central question: how can museums be bold enough to move audiences, challenge assumptions, provoke reflection, and create meaningful impact through the visitor experience.<\/p>\n<p>The program will begin with keynote presentations by invited speakers who will set the tone for the day. These will be followed by workshops and panels, as well as the popular Traveling Exhibitions Marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>Afternoons will be dedicated to visits to the host museum and local cultural institutions, giving participants the opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from peers, and experience innovative approaches to exhibitions, interpretation, and audience engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n  <div class=\"accordion mt-60\" >\n    <!-- item -->\n    <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n      <span class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"panel-General-Program\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#General-Program\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-General-Program\">\n          <span>General Program<\/span>\n        <\/button>\n      <\/span>\n      <div id=\"General-Program\" class=\"accordion-collapse  collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"panel-General-Program\">\n        <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n          <p>Below is an overview of the conference program.
