Photo: Tourism Toronto Conference Theme Collaborating for Impact: Not Business as Usual considers how the museum sector is stronger working collaboratively, and how museums, art galleries, and historic sites can be a positive force for change in Ontario society. Hear how colleagues are working with others in the culture sector and with some unexpected partners outside of it, and changing the game when it comes to reaching diverse audiences, preserving our heritage, and shaping our communities. Building on different examples of successful (or failed!) models, Collaborating for Impact: Not Business as Usual looks at the connections museums form in their communities and serves to provide a fresh approach to the role of museums in contemporary society.
