THE BEST IN HERITAGE ©
An Annual Presentation of the Best Museum, Heritage and Conservation Projects
Under the patronage of International Council of Museums (ICOM), UNESCO (BRESCE, Venice), Europa Nostra, ICOMOS, ICCROM, ICOM Europe, City of Dubrovnik and the support of the Ministry of Culture of Republic of Croatia
Like any other profession, ours has its class of achievers: the most creative and hardest working among us! They are the best and most experienced. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could meet them, socialise with them, talk to them - and listen to the detailed stories of their success? The key word is excellence and the right ambition is how to attain it.
What is "The best in heritage"? - World's only annual survey of the best, awarded projects
The case study, in-depth presentation of the handpicked choice of the most successful projects internationally. Awarded as the best nationally or internationally, they would be illustrating the best professional achievement of the previous year. Organisers just let them present themselves and neither evaluate nor give awards. The issue is presenting quality, sharing it with interested professionals and media, and make it a unique opportunity of learning by the best examples in anything concerning the care and communication of heritage.
Why would one come? - Insight, benchmarking opportunity, inspiration
If your goal is to give your institution a fresh, innovative display concept, undertake a major renovation or start a new project, "The best in Heritage" offers you a unique opportunity to gain inspiration, knowledge and experience. Those who have already done what you plan to do are willing to share their experiences with you. These are people who have learned to make the most of their investment in terms of innovation, effort, time and finances to produce the best possible product for their public - exactly what you yourself are after. You will hear the whole story of how they did it and what they have learned from it. If you really want to reach top quality and remain such, this is an opportunity to see how you measure up against a field of proven achievers. Why bother to experiment, invent or make old mistakes? There will always remain room for that! The variety of experiences offered will inspire you: they have been meant to do so.
Whom can you expect to meet? - The representatives of proven winners and media stars among institutions; Other entrepreneurial and ambitious professionals like yourself from different and yet similar fields of heritage care and communication.
All of them are decision-makers seeking the ultimate public value of their professional effort. There were 131 of them in 2006, from 31 countries attending the fifth edition of the event. The contacts and discussions make it a very pragmatic occasion. The growing competition you face in this field of heritage communication - be it from other museum institutions or from high-quality heritage industry - is to be feared only by those who are not well prepared for it. The DVD we offer, covering the entire event, is a formidable teaching tool. Over 100 000 of our colleagues worldwide visit annually our web site (1.3 million hits). Our collection of best museums and heritage projects is the only one with the professional certificate: they all have been granted awards and prizes by the dozens of professional juries all over the world.
In a professional world crowded with so many congresses, conferences, seminars and meetings, we offer you a simple and practical 3-day gathering of the best: the best information, the best company, extraordinary programme - and all that in one of the most picturesque historic environments in the world: the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
