About the Conference

The Association of Midwest Museums (AMM), Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA), and Missouri Association of Museums and Archives (MAMA) are joining forces in Kansas City next summer!

It’s a rare opportunity to bring our museum communities together for new connections, fresh perspectives, and conversations that will carry us forward. We hope you’ll join us!

We’ll kick off this year’s joint regional conference with Virtual Day on Wednesday, July 28. This robust day of programming will feature an opening general session, 4 concurrent sessions, 2 virtual museum tours, and a networking roundtable to chat with your peers on timely topics. 

In-person programming will take place Wednesday to Saturday, August 4-7, in Kansas City. With 40+ sessions, dozens of amazing museums to explore, and a chance to meet 600+ peers from eight states of the Midwest and eight states of the Mountain-Plains region, you won’t want to miss it!

There are many ways that local museums and service providers can be featured in the conference program and for their staff to get involved in the planning process. If you’re interested in learning more, contact AMM.
