Marketing & PR Peer Support Network
Join us at Yorkshire Air Museum for the first meeting of a new peer support network for people working in museums marketing, PR, communications and audience development across the North.
This discussion-led day will include:
- networking and peer exchange
- collaborative workshops and discussion
- practical examples and case studies
- future planning for the network
- lunch and a site visit
We are also delighted to welcome Samantha Jennings from Kiplin Hall, who will share practical approaches to marketing with limited capacity and examples from their recent work and anniversary activity.
Whether you work in a dedicated marketing role or communications forms part of a wider role, this event aims to provide a welcoming and supportive space for shared learning and connection.
