DUBAI TO HOST ICOM 2025, WORLD’S LARGEST CONFERENCE FOR MUSEUMS


The theme for the event will be ‘The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities’. The Advisory Council of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has elected Dubai to host its 27th General Conference in 2025. Every three years, the international museum community comes together for the biggest conference of its sector: the triennial ICOM General Conference. During ICOM’s 2021 annual meetings in June, three potential candidates were announced to host the 2025 edition: Kazan, proposed by ICOM Russia; Stockholm, proposed by ICOM Sweden; and Dubai, proposed by ICOM UAE. Its 25th edition was held in 2019 in Kyoto, Japan, and the 26th edition is scheduled to be held in Prague, Czech Republic in 2022. The three cities nominated to host ICOM 2025 - Dubai, Stockholm and Kazan - each had made final presentations prior to the voting process that took place electronically.
