Intro
As museums and fine art services move to a more sustainable future for many aspects of their operations and practices, they have responded to the challenge in many ways. This webinar will provide working examples of how some organizations have adapted new methods and materials in the packing, crating, and transporting collections in a more sustainable way.
This webinar will be held in three separate days to be able to provide the number of presentations offered in the most efficient manner. The list of presentations and speakers for each day are posted below. This schedule and daily sequence of presentations may change slightly. We will update the final schedule on this web page closer to the webinar dates.
