Applications are now open to pitch your exhibitions or projects at the 2020 Ecsite Conference

You can now submit your applications for pitches for touring exhibitions (members only for the first round) and project showcase.

Submit your pitch for "What's new in touring exhibitions"

There are two special session slots on the Friday morning dedicated to touring exhibitions pitches. In each session, 15 speakers all have four minutes each to present their new travelling exhibition(s). This call will be open in two rounds; the first is exclusive to Ecsite members and the second will be open to the whole community.

Round 1: members only
31 January to 27 February

Round 2: open to all
12 March to 5 April

A subgroup of the Conference Programme Committee will be reviewing all pitches for exhibition presentations and process all the applications after the deadline of 27 February, excluding those that don't follow the criteria for this session:

1) Your exhibition was launched in 2019 or will be launched in 2020

2) Your exhibition has never been promoted at an Ecsite session before

There will be a maximum of 15 speakers per session and there are two sessions this year. If you would like to submit a pitch, all you need to do is complete this form with the following information:

• Title of the touring exhibition

• Start date of the tour

• If you have presented your exhibition at an Ecsite Conference before, in what year did you present?
