"Creativity and collaboration in providing access to music collections & reference services"

Our forthcoming annual conference is an opportunity for professionals and stakeholders across public, private, education and government sectors to share best practice and new ideas. Creativity is pivotal to all aspects of working with music collections and services, from curating archival collections, to developing events programmes, or establishing new projects to meet the needs of clients whether they are members of the public, orchestras, community groups or students, and even creative thinking, budgeting or planning. Creativity and collaboration often come hand in hand.

Programme Outline
Our 2013 programme will see our familiar format of paper presentations enhanced with some critical training offerings encorporating music enquiries & handling music materials for the non-specialist and music in RDA for members getting to grips with the impact of the new standard.  This page will be updated as speakers and events are confirmed and a more formal draft programme will be publishing in the coming weeks. As always attendees are invited to a private dinner on the Thursday evening to continue the networking! For registration & pricing click 'Join' above.
