The Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM) dedicates its Annual Conference to fostering excellence in museums by providing high-quality professional development, networking opportunities, and special events for museum professionals in the region.
The Call for Proposals provides comprehensive information for submitting a session proposal to the MAAM Annual Conference. Proposals deadline is extended to June 9, 2025 at 5 pm ET. The Committee consists of representatives from the MAAM board of directors, emerging museum professionals, MAAM members, and volunteers on the Planning Committee. The Program Committee will review session submissions in June 2025. After reviewing and developing the schedule for the conference, we will notify designated contacts for selected sessions by July 14, 2025. The Program Committee reserves the right to request modifications to programs submitted by presenters.
Poster Presentations (Students Only)
Poster Presentations showcase student projects and research from museum studies or related programs, emphasizing museum-based topics. This format offers students a professional presentation experience and a chance to share academic trends and projects. Undergraduate and graduate students, and those who have graduated within one year of the previous annual conference, are eligible to submit. Presentations may occur during coffee breaks or other Affinity Group meeting times, where presenters discuss their work one-on-one using visual or material aids. MAAM may make changes to this format based on submission volume. Applications may be accepted on a rolling basis until September 15.
