Join us for a week of truth-telling and learning!

From Monday 28 August until Friday 1 September 2023, the ICOM Committee for University Museums and Collections Conference (UMAC) will be hosted at the Chau Chak Wing Museum.

UMAC 2023 will take place on the lands of the Gadigal people, part of the Eora Nation. The UMAC organising committee recognises and pays respect to the Elders and communities – past, present, and emerging. For thousands of years, they have shared and exchanged knowledges across innumerable generations for the benefit of all.

Activities associated with UMAC 2023 will begin on Monday 28 August with the official Welcome to Country and full program taking place from Tuesday 29 August to Thursday 31 August. Special on-site tours, workshops, and offsite tours will be arranged for delegates on Friday 1 September, with a chance to explore some of Sydney’s most vibrant art galleries and cultural institutions over the weekend.

UMAC 2023 brings delegates to Sydney, Australia to explore the conference theme of ‘Truth-Telling Through University Museums and Collections.’ Registrations are now open.
