This year, we're "Taking Care" and exploring what well-being for museum workers means. As staff and volunteers at museums, we often are responsible for the caretaking of the objects in our collections and providing for the external needs of our particular communities.
But what happens when we turn that care-taking focus inward towards ourselves as a field? What strategies and activities can we use to contribute to the well-being of staff, volunteers, and ourselves? How do we hold space for the stories that abound of toxic work environments, high expectations, financial insecurity, and widespread burnout - while remembering the joy and passion that led us to pursue a career in this field in the first place?
Spend the day at a decidedly different type of conference - one that offers you the freedom to exercise care for self while participating in a creative mix of opportunities to learn, have fun with your peers, recharge, and gather new ideas.

The Annual Conference will once again feature the extremely popular "Follow the Speaker" conference format which is designed to help sites engage at a more direct level with presenters. The conference will be a full day of learning, conversation, activities, networking, office hour opportunities with grant funding organizations, as well as a lite breakfast, luncheon, full-day exhibit hall, the Awards for Excellence ceremony and poster session, and more!
