The AI shift

From September 14–17, 2025, we will gather in Frankfurt and Mannheim for the next IATM Conference! The theme will be “The AI Shift: Transforming Transport and Communication Museums”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already making its way into many museums. Perhaps you are experimenting with AI in your daily work, planning an exhibition on AI, or have already integrated AI into your processes, transforming the way you work.

At next year’s conference, we will explore this transformation: How might AI influence us and our museums? Do we need to rethink how we develop exhibitions, or will AI fundamentally change the way we manage our collections?

We are eager to hear about your experiences, ideas, and best practices! Are there any interesting projects outside our field that could be valuable for our conference? What insights can you share from your work with AI?

We invite you to think about how you could contribute to the conference. If you are unable to travel to Germany, we also welcome your participation and contributions online.

In the coming months, we will begin gathering ideas to craft an inspiring and engaging conference. Your input will be essential to making this event a success. Please share your thoughts, comments, and ideas via email—we look forward to hearing from you!
