Emerging Issues for 2027 Cultural Facility Management

This shared practice survey is about the current and emerging issues affecting museum building design and operation, including: funding pressure, energy costs, aging equipment, staffing capacity, weather resilience, building technology, and changing requirements.

This short survey will help us understand the issues and concerns you have for the coming year to help identify potential topics for 2027 Shared Practice meetings. Please take a couple minutes to share the issues that you are currently facing and identify topics of interest to your organization. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Upon completion you will get the registration email for the shared practice meeting (if you check that you want it.) All survey participants get the results after the meeting.
