How to Register
Registration is only available through our online form linked here.
- IMPORTANT: Exhibitors, Sponsors, Scholarship Recipients, Guest Speakers, and Volunteers will receive an email with a unique discount code to use in the registration form to access complimentary registrations and/or evening event tickets. Be sure that you have this code before filling out the form.
A few things to know about registration:
- Registration Form: We are “back to basics” with our form this year, to attempt to simplify the process for attendees while also ensuring that our back-of-house can sync with our new virtual platform. Thank you for your patience as we test out different formats for 2023. Linked here are detailed registration instructions.
- Member Rates: Association of Midwest Museums (AMM) and Association of Indiana Museums (AIM) members – museums, individuals, and companies – may take advantage of the member registration rates. If you are an Institutional or Individual Premium member of AMM, you have access to Virtual Only registration for free. You must be a current member. Contact us with questions or to check the status of your membership.
- Special Rates: We are offering special registration rates for students and furloughed museum workers; see below for details. Session and workshop presenters will receive a registration discount code from AMM following proposal acceptance.
- Group Rates: Museums interested in sending 4 or more staff are invited to become Organizational Champion or Team Builder sponsors to access a group rate. This is a great way to show your staff you value and support them!
- Volunteers: Volunteers have access to discounted or free registration for their time. AMM will email volunteers with instructions for registration. Contact us if you have questions.
- Virtual Platform: This year, we are testing out Whova as our all-in-one virtual platform and mobile app. We hope you will like the new connection features it offers and look forward to getting your feedback post-conference.
