During CODART ZEVENTIEN CODART members will have an opportunity to give a short presentation. Instead of the group discussions during the Market of Ideas that was a part of previous congresses, the morning session on Tuesday, 18 March will feature a plenary Speakers’ Corner. CODART members will be given the congress floor for seven minutes, during which time they can put questions to their fellow curators or appeal to them for help with a project or research question. After each presentation there will be time for reactions from the audience.

Ideally, the presentations should tie in as much as possible with the theme of the congress, Presenting our Collections: Ideals, Ideas and Practice. Suitable subjects include a wide range of ideas about collections and exhibition practices, including everything from display cases and illumination to educational programs and the use of digital media.
