The 38th Annual Small Museum Association (SMA) Conference will be held between 20-22 February 2022 on "Seizing the Moment: Opportunities for radical change".

Small museums are uniquely positioned to pivot quickly to respond to the changing needs of our audiences. As we reflect on the impacts of the dual pandemics that came to the forefront in 2020, that of COVID-19 and racial injustice around the world, how can we seize the moment to create lasting, meaningful change for our institutions and our communities? If not now, when?

The annual SMA conference attracts more than 300 museum professionals, board members, and volunteers from a wide variety of small museums.

Price: 230 USD (Full registration); 200 USD (Student full registration)
