About the Conference

We’ll kick off this year’s conference with a joint Virtual Day on Wednesday, July 22. This robust day of programming will feature an opening general session, 4 concurrent sessions, 2 virtual Chicagoland museum tours, and a networking roundtable to chat with your peers on timely topics. 

In-person programming will take place Sunday-Wednesday, July 26-29 in Chicago, IL. With 40+ sessions, dozens of amazing museums to explore, and a chance to meet 400+ peers from eight states of the Midwest and beyond, 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.
