Fall Gathering 2023

Thank you!

The Alberta Museums Association wishes to extend our thanks to all presenters, volunteers, guests, and award recipients for making the 2023 Fall Gathering such a success! We would also like to thank our Hosting Partner, Heritage Park Historical Village, and all our sponsors for making this event possible through their generous support. We want to extend a special thank you to Indigenous Tourism Alberta for curating the entertainment, Kehewin Native Dance Theatre, for the evening!

The Fall Gathering included our Annual General Meeting; the presentation of a new Strategic Plan; a keynote presentation from Emlyn Koster, Director Emeritus, Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology; and an evening Awards Gala.

The keynote presentation, Consequential Relevance, outlined a way forward for the museum sector amidst changing priorities in an unstable world. Emlyn seeks to inspire reflection on mission-critical matters with bold rethinking about traditional ways and means.

The Fall Gathering also included the presentation of the AMA's new Strategic Plan. The plan was developed in consultation with our staff, board, members, and community supporters, and will guide the work of the Association through 2026.

Thank you for joining us to reconnect, explore, and celebrate the work of the amazing sector we support!
