The exhibition is increasingly being reframed as a 'research output', but what can new forms of research and collaboration bring to the concept and curatorship of the exhibition? Is the idea of the exhibition being distorted or creatively extended by new disciplinary practices and knowledge? In what ways do new forms of research exhibitions create new types of knowledge and experience for the audience?

Confirmed speakers include Dr Gail Lambourne, Professor Bruno Latour, Dr Angus Carlyle, Irene Revell, John Byrne, Alistair Hudson, Dr Ken Neil, Dr Leslie Topp, Professor Felix Driver, Professor David Cotterrell, Professor Oriana Baddeley, Dr Noortje Marres, Kate Southworth, Dr Susan Pui San Lok, Dr Brian Dillon, Professor David Solkin and Peter Ride.
