Conferences and Workshops
The SITEM conferences bring together people from all over the world, and they are often based on rather original topics. As for the Workshops, they are a chance to get involved in some unparalleled case studies. These original, intellectual initiatives are constantly being renewed, and have become the main attractions of the SITEM.

Musées (em)portables
The French Ministry of Culture describes this event as one of the “fifteen remarkable measures of tomorrow’s musuem”. For this festival, participants film three-minute videos with their mobile telephone, while visiting a museum. Some of them are hilarious, some tell a story, and participants are free to use their creative spirit as they wish.
