| Summary: | Transport and communications museums face a challenging future.
Visitors’ expectations rise year by year. So too does competition

maintain and build collections declines. Yet the popularity and international
standing of the best museums in the sector show that innovative thinking
and high levels of professionalism can pay off. The 35th conference of IATM offers a unique opportunity to share in the secrets of success and to develop solutions for the challenges ahead. Bringing together museum directors, trustees, professionals and practitioners, academics and others concerned with the theory and practice of museums and related heritage sites, IATM conference is essential for everyone with a hand in shaping the future of museums.
