This year has been one of challenge and change, and the 2020 NEMA Conference is here to help you respond. You can stay connected and engaged with your colleagues near and far, because we have pivoted to an all-virtual format. Daily conference themes will be launched by inspiring keynote speakers, including: Colleen Dilenschneider, Jamal Jimerson, and Sarah Sutton. You won’t want to miss out on the fun of NEMA 2020!

With 60+ sessions, multiple keynotes, networking lunches, and a virtual exhibit hall, you have a variety of opportunities to connect and engage with other museum professionals.
  • No Travel – At the museum or at home, the virtual conference saves you travel expenses. Conference is accessible at the click of a button, no matter where you are, or what time zone.
  • Tiered Pricing – The NEMA Conference is a great value, with pricing options and scholarships that make it accessible and affordable to everyone regardless of their financial circumstances.
  • Be Social – Follow #NEMA2020 on social media, attend receptions and affinity lunches, or host your own networking events on the conference platform throughout the week.
  • Industry Experts – Learn about the latest innovative products and services in the NEMA Exhibit Hall. Chat with vendors and attend demos in their virtual booths.
  • Asynchronous Access – Too many great topics to watch all at once? Miss a session that you wanted to attend? Most sessions will be recorded and available for registrants to access through the conference website and app up to three months after conference is over.
  • More to come! We’re continuing to expand the conference offerings with timely and relevant sessions between now and November.
