Network Webinar – Preparing for Change: Insights into ICOM’s Governance & Structure Surveys  

As part of its ongoing commitment to improving governance and operations, ICOM is preparing to launch a comprehensive membership consultation.

This initiative, led by the Working Group on Statutes and Rules (WGSR) and supported by an external consultancy team (Boiling Ideas), aims to gather insights from ICOM members to enhance the organisation’s governance framework. 

ICOM invites all its members to an exclusive webinar dedicated to the ongoing reflections on its governance and structure. This event will provide a comprehensive overview of the upcoming surveys on governance to be conducted within the organisation and highlight key insights that will shape the future of ICOM. 

The first results of the survey will be presented to the ICOM Membership at the 27th ICOM General Conference, which will be held in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), in November 2025.
