Not two, but three associations are teamed up to support the Midwest in 2025!
This year—perhaps more than ever—we will all be seeking the support of our peers, to find strength in solidarity and courage in our convictions.
That’s why the Association of Midwest Museums, the Illinois Association of Museums, and the Iowa Museum Association are collaborating to provide you a whole year of affordable opportunities to connect with your museum community close to home!
Here’s a preview of what's in store - stay tuned for program and registration announcements coming soon!
This Spring: Building Value in Communities-
Join the Iowa Museum Association for their 2025 Conference on April 27-29 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Featuring a keynote presentation by Dr. John H. Falk, the conference seeks to redefine the museum experience, focusing on the true value of what museums offer: transformative experiences that enrich the lives of our visitors and our communities.
AMM members have access to member rates for IAM 2025! All you have to do is create an IMA account and select the member rate.
This Summer: Navigating “Crosscurrents”-
Come be our guest in the Midwest, virtually and/or in-person, during Crosscurrents!
We’ll kick off this year’s conference with a joint Virtual Day on Wednesday, July 23, organized in collaboration with both state association partners. This robust day of programming will feature a keynote session inspired by “The Generosity Report”, 4 sessions, 2 virtual Quad Cities museum tours, and a networking roundtable to chat with your peers on timely topics. Crosscurrents in-person programming, developed with the Illinois Association of Museums, will take place July 30-August 2. We'll get to learn from the experiences of Quad Cities nonprofit and tourism leaders, local movers and shakers, and museum peers from eight states of the Midwest and beyond. With 40+ sessions, 14 amazing museums, and a chance for 400+ connections, you won’t want to miss it!
Registration for Crosscurrents, the AMM-IMA 2025 Joint Conference opens soon. Stay tuned!
