2021 Conference Series
The Alberta Museums Association (AMA) is excited to announce our
50th Anniversary Conference Series! Throughout 2021, we
will be hosting four virtual events to celebrate excellence in the
Alberta museum community over the past 50 years and examine the
trends and priorities that are shaping the future of our
sector.
Guided by the four pillars
of Reconciliation, Inclusion,
Community, and Innovation,
the 50th Anniversary Conference Series will explore
the dynamic ways museums represent, engage, and connect with the
people and world around them.
