Cost: See booking info

"Liverpool 2013, which takes place on Monday 11 November and Tuesday 12 November, will be no different, with a series of sessions run by sector specialists based around three key themes.

Delegates with an interest in museums, health and wellbeing should look out for sessions under the Therapeutic Museum theme. Coordinated by Carol Rogers of National Museums Liverpool, this series of sessions will examine how museums can build a sustainable relationship with the health and social care sector.

Delegates will look at how museums can demonstrate that they can make a real difference to the quality of people's lives and debate whether museums can afford to do this type of work - or afford not to. The theme ties in with the Decade of Health and Wellbeing national campaign, in which Liverpool is playing a leading role.

The Tomorrow's World theme will appeal to anyone who wants to know what the future holds for museums and what they can do to shape it.

Iain Watson, director of Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, has coordinated a number of sessions exploring how technological developments are changing the museum experience, skills the museum workforce (be it human or robot) may need in future and how the MA's Museums 2020 vision can translate into action.

Finally, hankies should be at the ready for the Emotional Museum theme, which delves into how museums worldwide are moving away from academic, sterile and dispassionate approaches to display.

Coordinated by David Fleming, director of National Museums Liverpool, sessions will look at how museums are connecting with more diverse visitors by encouraging emotion and seeking out visceral rather than intellectual responses.

Delegates will explore how to balance joy and tragedy, how to tackle uncomfortable subjects and how to deal with the consequences of provoking strong emotions like rage or grief in visitors."
