Keynote - Economic models in international touring exhibitions
The 2026 keynote session will focus on economic models in international touring exhibitions and address a key question: Can productions on tour be a source of revenue for producers and hosts?
Tom Cummins, Director of Exhibits at Science World, a major science centre institution based in Vancouver, and Cédric Moulart, Head of Touring Exhibitions at Tempora, a leading European exhibition organiser, will share their perspectives on economic models and the future of touring productions as resources for cultural organisations, drawing on their extensive experience of making, touring and hosting international exhibitions.
The session will be convened by Agnès Bertocci-Ruiz, international touring specialist and Director of Sales at the American Museum of Natural History.
