Leading into the Easter break, the peak organisation, the Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA) shared a special bulletin with its members and subscribers announcing that its annual conference will not go ahead in 2025. It had been scheduled for October.
National Director and CEO of AMaGA, Katie Russell said in that formal statement: “This decision has been shaped by a number of resourcing factors, but most importantly by a recognition that the current cost of attending the conference is prohibitive to many of our members. This will be the most important factor in our rethinking of the conference model.”
