Our conferences are the largest professional development and networking event for Alaska's museums and cultural centers.
From the 1970's to 2019, we co-hosted a conference with the Alaska Historical Society.
After the 2019 conference, we knew that we needed a bit more time to focus on the myriad of topics people wish to learn about in our field, so we made the difficult decision to start hosting a conference on our own.
Our 2020 conference was canceled due to COVID, and in 2021, we hosted a virtual conference. Then, starting in 2022, we've began hosting our statewide museum and cultural center conference biennially.
