Small Museum Association 2016 Conference - Call for Proposals
The Small Museum Association is now accepting session and workshop proposals for its 2016 conference held in Ocean City, MD. This year, the SMA conference will offer sessions that address the theme Museums & More. Speakers are encouraged to explore instances in which their museum has pushed beyond its traditional role, programs, and/or approach to its work. Sessions may address the question of how museums can ask more of themselves, as well as how audiences can anticipate more from the museums in their community.
Topics could include fundraising, education, collections and curatorial issues, exhibit development, board engagement, and volunteer management. We invite proposals based on institutional experience and/or original research. Sessions should help attendees learn from your institution’s successes and failures and provide low or no-cost ideas for making an impact. Proposals should indicate whether the presentation is most appropriate for emerging museum professionals, mid-career practitioners, or experts in the field as well as museum staff, volunteers, or board members.
Through this Call for Proposals we invite you to share your insights with hundreds of colleagues who, like you, are committed to excellence in small museums everywhere. Submit your proposal using the form below no later than Friday, September 25, 2015.
