We’re thrilled to announce MCN 2025 in Minneapolis, MN! Hosted at the Walker Art Center, the conference brings together cultural heritage professionals from museums and historic sites across North America and beyond. MCN 2025 offers an inspiring space for our community to connect, share knowledge, and explore the latest innovations in digital technologies for museums. During a time of great uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to learn, collaborate, and develop strategies for resilience together.
This year you can expect:

Networking opportunities to connect with colleagues and forge lasting relationships.
An evening reception, museum tours, and our signature event, Ignite!
Resilience and Resonance
Museum professionals working in the digital space continually face challenges coming from multiple directions: advocating for digital as an integral component of visitor engagement; embracing rapid developments in AI while maintaining the role of human expertise; championing the cultural sector at large in an increasingly complex social landscape. The community has faced these challenges in the past and will continue to face them for years to come.
Visitors likewise look to our institutions to provide spaces—in-person and digital—for learning and inspiration in the face of change.
Though uncertainties continue to loom large, how can we remain strong, focused, and motivated through internal and external forces? How do we continue to be sources of inspiration through the thickest of noise? How can we come together to support the needs of our audiences?
With every challenge comes an opportunity to emerge with critical learnings to help shape future approaches.
The full conference program will be available in mid-August. Stay tuned for updates on our exciting lineup of speakers and sessions.
