American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting, 2021
Dana Andrew, TEG Professional Development Manager, joined a panel at the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo.
The ICOM International Committee for Exhibition Exchange (ICEE) Overview on Professional Development Beyond the Pandemic explored how museum professionals are now trying to broaden their skill sets and increase their flexibility as a result of staff cuts and museums reconsidering how they manage teams and engage with audiences. The session outlined global opportunities for professional development and helped professionals navigate the current situation.
The session took place on Monday 7 June at 16:30 BST (UK time). Dana was joined by Francesca Polo, UK (chair), Paula Duarte, Mexico (panellist) and Greg Stevens, USA (panellist).
The AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo is the only event of its scope and scale. It brings together museums of all types and sizes—from art and history museums to zoos and botanic gardens—to share ideas and make connections that are transformative. It’s a place where all museum professionals learn from one another, create partnerships, and leave inspired to make an impact on their museums, communities, and the world.
The 2021 AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo (#AAM2021) took place, online, on May 24 and June 7-9.
2019 Museums Association Conference
TEG attended the MA Exhibition in Brighton, 3rd-4th October 2019, in the Networks Hub.
2018 Museums Association Conference
TEG attended the MA Exhibition in Belfast, 8th-9th November 2018, in the Networks Hub.
The paper was part of the Refresh conference stream. Using the findings from TEG’s ‘Lending and Borrowing Experiences Report’ (Dew:2017) as a starting point, it outlined the barriers, and how through a framework of training, mentoring and small procedural changes these may be removed, resulting in fruitful partnerships, benefiting participating institutions, as well as the public through the resulting exhibitions. It argued that change of this nature is only possible when organisations are open to collaboration; that borrowing activity should be considered a partnership, not a transactional activity.
2017 Museums Association Conference
We launched the TEG Lending and Borrowing Experiences Report on Thursday 16th November. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Manchester.
The report, based on wide-reaching sector research, proposed steps to encourage effective and impactful lending and borrowing and was introduced by Liz Johnson, Senior Manager, Museums Review, Arts Council England. Download MA Conference 2017 presentation

Sharing Collections: The Benefits and Challenges of Borrowing
Borrowing and lending between museums of different scales and types is an important two-way opportunity to share objects and expertise, and increase opportunities for public engagement. This session presented the results of the Touring Exhibition Group’s (TEG) ACE-funded research into borrowing practices, together with case studies and recommendations for good practice as a lender and borrower. It also introduced the TEG and National Museum Directors Council’s Preparing to Borrow programme of training, mentoring and match-making.
