Propose a Conference Session

Be sure to fill out the session proposal form by Friday, January 10, 2025.  Priority consideration will be given to early submissions. 

WaMA aspires to include sessions representing the diversity of museum work across all disciplines/specialties, regions, and museum sizes. We encourage sessions that include multiple presenters. Sessions that relate to the conference theme are especially competitive.

• Lectures and panels will be 60 minutes followed by 15 minutes for Q&A.
• Workshops/interactive sessions may be 1-2 hours long.

Topics may include but aren’t limited to: community engagement, accessibility, equity, diversity and inclusion, collaboration, exhibit development, strategic planning, collections stewardship, facilities and safety, technology, cultural tourism, interpretation, museum management and leadership, and fundraising.

Note: WaMA conference policy does not allow for reimbursement of expenses. All session participants must register for the conference.
