Book now for Money Talks: Income Generation for Museums.
16 September 2026, 1100-1600, online.
It’s never been more crucial for museums to develop sustainable commercial models that complement their wider organisational values and objectives. This one-day conference looks at how commercial teams can work more effectively with senior leaders and colleagues in other departments to integrate commercial thinking into core decision-making.
Highlights include discussions from the Association for Cultural Enterprises, the Cartoon Museum and the Amelia Scott.
At this one-day conference, through case studies and panel discussions discover:
1. practical, creative and achievable ways that your museum can generate sustainable income
2. ways to create income while staying true to your core mission
3. how to overcome the challenges of recent years
4. future trends across retail, e-commerce, events, corporate hire and more.
This event is for you if you:
1. work in a commercial team or have responsibility for income generation
2. manage a small museum that needs to raise income and become self-sustaining
3. are interested in the future sustainability of the museum sector
4. need new ideas for raising income
5. lead a museum and want to better understand how commercial strategy can support your wider mission.
Come to this event to hear a panel discussion exploring how organisations can integrate commercial thinking into strategic decision-making, how smaller museums can take a proactive approach to commercial operations and how museums can expand their commercial offer while maintaining free access and inclusion.
