39 Speakers from Europe and North America
19 Major presentations
10 Quick Tips
5 Prep Stories
5 Depot tours in and around Amsterdam
There were many valuable presentations and quick tips from the conference that were provided by experts in their specialized fields. We also had a few Prep stories that told about their path in becoming a preparator and illustrated how the role of the art handler and preparator is a very valuable and important profession in the museum community and fine art services industry. Through the guidance of our Programs Chair, Julia Latane, we also had inspiring presentations and panel discussion on the topics of diversity, equity and inclusion in our field that should encourage everyone on what the future can be.
