Center—or challenge—your truths. Get creative. Dwell in the possibilities. Emerge stronger.

We’ve been working with our Chicago museum friends to develop a program for #AMM_2026, We Hold These Truths, that features perspectives from nearly 100 different Midwest museums. It's going to be awesome!

This year's conference won't shy away from the struggle. More importantly, it will provide a safe space to lean on and learn from your peers, explore possible solutions to your common challenges, and find a renewed sense of hope (with realism).

Register by July 13 to save on Virtual + In-Person and Virtual + Single Day rates. Check out our registration information page for details on what's included along with FAQs and detailed form instructions.

What's in store for We Hold These Truths

Join AMM and hundreds of your peers online for Virtual Day on Wednesday, July 22, for a robust day of programming. Virtual Day will feature an opening session titled “Whose Truths?” with a focus on the Chicago Monuments Project. We will virtually visit two Chicagoland museums, chat about hot topics in roundtable discussions, and take part in any of 4 live concurrent virtual sessions - all from the comfort of our homes or offices!

In Chicago on July 26-29, you’ll have access to your choice of 50+ sessions, posters and conversation stations presented by your peers, PLUS plenty of time for fellowship and visits to our exhibit hall featuring 40+ providers. This year’s workshops will provide in-depth skill and knowledge building in key areas of need: volunteer workforce development, repatriation, and emergency planning.

Central to the experience, of course, is the chance to explore at least a dozen unique Chicagoland museums through virtual tours and in-person programs. You'll see - there's truly a museum to satisfy every interest in Chicago!
