Some would say that negotiating a touring exhibition is an art form, other would call it alchemy or pure witchcraft… Certainly, it’s not a scientific process (unfortunately!).

This session is half workshop, half therapy. In a trusted environment, in the first part of the session we will be sharing the “dirtiest questions about touring”: for instance, what really annoys touring promoters, shippers and venues? And how low should you go (pricewise, of course)? How do you assess your institution's preparedness for touring exhibitions? Once these hot issues are on the table, the therapy session starts: how to avoid the frustration of making the same mistakes again? Or do we learn to live with it through better mutual understanding?
