MDM provides a wide range of training and events for museums in the Midlands. Browse our upcoming events below, as well as those from other sector organisations.

We will prioritise bookings from staff and volunteers at Accredited Museums and museums officially Working Towards Accreditation which are not National museums or National Portfolio Organisations (NPO). You’re welcome to book a place if you are not from a priority museum on the understanding we may ask you to release your place if the event becomes oversubscribed.
