2023 Conference
Engage!
Moving from Inspiration to Action
November 8-10, 2023
2023 Annual Conference
Portland, Maine
The NEMA Conference has always been a place of idea exchange, like the wider museum field. The best, most useful conversations we have as museum professionals can directly impact our daily work, and these are the kinds of discussions we want to focus on for this year’s conference. Ideas, theories, and explorations are important, but these sometimes stultify into statements and plans which mean nothing if not carried out.
This year, the NEMA Conference asks you to consider: whose voices are you including in your planning processes? How are your plans, at the programmatic, departmental, or strategic levels being implemented, and by whom? What are the concrete methods, lessons learned, and implementation tips you can offer your fellow museum professionals? Where are you taking those key steps from talk to action?
