Teo Live 2026
Teo Live, a free online event held each year, supports the global touring exhibitions community with a busy marketplace for sharing exhibitions and experiences, opportunities to hear about the latest trends, and time to meet with industry professionals from across the globe.
Hosted by Agnès Bertocci-Ruiz, international touring specialist and director of sales at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the 2026 keynote will explore economic models for international touring exhibitions and discuss whether touring productions can be a revenue source for both producers and venues.
Attendees can see presentations from producers including National Geographic Traveling Exhibitions, Universcience – Cité des sciences et de l’industrie & Palais de la découverte, Natural History Museum London, Imagine, and American Museum of Natural History, among many others.
Additionally, meet-up opportunities will be available with specialist providers, such as Guide ID, and producer Dino Don.

Cummins is the director of exhibits at Science World, a major science centre institution based in Vancouver. He has helped shape Science World’s touring strategy, which has evolved into an approach that builds both internal resource development and industry-wide partnerships.
With more than 10 years of experience, Cummins has developed over 40,000 square feet of permanent exhibition space, leading new galleries and major renewals, and an expanding catalogue of touring exhibitions.
His multidisciplinary background, including film, museums, and themed entertainment, informs his approach to creating meaningful cultural experiences and establishing routes to long-term organisational resilience.
As head of touring exhibitions at Tempora, a Brussels-based agency that designs exhibitions and manages cultural sites, Moulart coordinates the global travel of a varied portfolio, bringing history, art, and science narratives to audiences worldwide.
Further to his touring responsibilities, he manages programming for Tempora-operated cultural venues and brings a vibrant offering to each site through a combination of in-house productions and exhibitions from external partners.
At Tempora, Moulart concentrates on the practical and financial sustainability of touring productions, building collaborations that guarantee high-quality experiences that are viable for both the producer and the host venue.
