The 26th ICOM General Conference was held in Prague from 20–28 August 2022 at the Prague Congress Centre to the theme of ‘The Power of Museums’.

The ITP was very happy to support fellows in attending ICOM Prague 2022 through ITP Conference Grants. 5 ITP fellows attended the conference, as attendees or as speakers, with support from a Conference Grant.

Each recipient of the Conference Grant documented their experiences at the conference either through blogs, a report, or a short film.
