One year on from ICOM Dubai 2025, the first ever General Conference ever held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, we are delighted to share the Final Report.
The Report brings together the key discussions, insights, and outcomes of the conference that welcomed over 5,500 participants, reflecting the richness of exchanges among participants from across the region and around the world. Focusing on the theme, “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities”, and its three sub-themes, “Intangible Heritage” “Youth Power” and “New Technology”, it showcases the collective contributions and achievements of the event.
For the registered attendees, the post-conference Event Gallery is also available, and the session recordings can be accessed on the Video-On-Demand (VOD) platform until June 2027.
Once again, we extend our gratitude to the partners, contributors, and colleagues from the region and around the world whose engagement made ICOM Dubai 2025 possible. As a global network of museums and museum professionals, we remain committed to working towards a shared vision, now paving the way toward ICOM Rotterdam 2028.
