The theme for this online session of Brew Up! is 'Collections Disposal' and will focus on collections disposal within the existing landscape of industrial and social heritage-linked organisations, how we can best talk to each other across the North, and how to share experience and collaborate effectively in the current museum environment.

It is open to anyone in the North region who cares for industrial or social history collections, big or small. There will be presentations on the theme of disposals from people working in collections management and time to discuss ideas in the group.
