The 2015 Annual Meeting is guided by the theme *Listen • Learn • Lead*,
which encourages museum professionals to contemplate the foundation of what
museums do for their communities. Together, we will ask: Are we listening
to a diverse set of voices so our organizations are meeting actual needs?
How can we learn from and with our constituents? How can we become leaders?
Are our museums prepared to lead cultural evolution?
*The Early Bird Registration deadline is July 31, 2015. *Discounted Rates
are for members only. Learn more about membership here:

Highlights include:
*Learning Sessions: *Over 40 sessions are broken out into 7

Development. View the session agenda here:

Museum, there is certainly time to be inspired by your peers. Learn about
