The Seminar will bring together experienced and new coordinators, and people interested in finding out about the role – what’s involved, how to encourage and support collection holders and sharing ideas to continue to improve and strengthen the network across the UK.

There will also be the opportunity to discuss how we communicate and share information, training and support, with both the Conservation Team and current Coordinators, and of course time to get to know one another.

It is principally aimed at current Collections Coordinators and numbers will be limited, so if you are not a Coordinator or already shadowing to take over, but are interested in attending please do register your interest early and we'll contact you on a first come first served basis.
