Updates March 13, 2020:

WE HAVE SOME NEWS!

Out of an abundance of caution and financial concern for all of our conference attendees, presenters and sponsors, we have decided to move this year’s conference to a digital format. In keeping with our theme this year of “Risk and Bravery,” the AAMG conference committee, with our partners at the University of Kansas, are discussing the ways in which we might still be able to remotely deliver the conference sessions we have already been planning. We are at the very beginning of this discussion and very much look forward to innovating and creating this new format in this time of adaptability.

Rest assured, we will be keeping you all updated throughout the development of this process and would be happy to answer any questions you might have along the way. Although this novel digital format setting will ask us to address a wide range of concerns, it is our hope that it will also provide us with new possibilities for expanding participation and engagement with academic museum staff across the U.S. (and perhaps beyond!).

As ever, thank you for your patience and we will be in contact with details as we work towards this new setting. Please visit this page on our website (https://www.aamg-us.org/wp/2020-annual-conference/) for all updates as they become available.

Additionally, we have created a new page on our website with a link to update your own institution’s response and protocols in this time of change. Feel free to add your own or use it as a reference to see how other institutions are adapting. That page can be found by clicking here, or copying and pasting the following: https://www.aamg-us.org/wp/covid-19-updates/

Sincerely,

AAMG Communications
