Registration is now open

The International Congress of Maritime Museums (ICMM) is pleased to announce registration for the next biennial ICMM Congress, which will be held from 15–21 September 2024 in the ‘low land’ countries of the Netherlands and Belgium, is now open.

ICMM holds a Congress every two years. Each Congress is hosted by an ICMM member who has won a bid to hold the event. The aim is to hold Congresses in different countries and on different continents so that delegates have the opportunity to see how other maritime museums operate around the world. Delegates attending ICMM Congresses come from many countries and represent a wide cross section of maritime museums as well as those with an interest in maritime heritage and history.

The 2024 Congress has been organised in collaboration with four host museums:
Het Scheepvaartmuseum (National Maritime Museum) – Amsterdam, Netherlands
Maritiem Museum Rotterdam – Rotterdam, Netherlands
Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) – Antwerp, Belgium
Zuiderzee Museum – Enkhuizen, Netherlands

The 2024 ICMM Congress outline programme with locations is available now on the conference website. The ICMM is delighted to announce that Dr Helen Czerski and Prof Wayne Modest are confirmed as two of our keynote speakers. The full programme with speakers will be available soon.

An early-bird rate is available for ICMM members until 30th April 2024, offering a discount on the non-member rate. Please see the ICMM website for details on membership and conference rates.
