Save the date for AAM Member Week!
October 27–30, 2026 | Virtual | Free & Exclusively for AAM Members
Join us this fall for the first-ever AAM Member Week, a free, members-only celebration of the people and organizations that make our museum community extraordinary.
At AAM, our members are at the heart of everything we do. Your dedication, creativity, and commitment to museums inspire our work every day, and Member Week is our chance to say thank you.
Join colleagues from across the field October 27-30, 2026 for four days of free programming featuring inspiring conversations, practical learning, career development, advocacy insights, and meaningful opportunities to build your professional community.
Across four afternoons, we’ll come together around community, advocacy, museum practice, and professional learning—with opportunities to make new connections, strengthen your work, exchange ideas with colleagues, and explore some of the issues shaping museums today.
And because this week is about celebrating you, expect some fun along the way, too. We’re planning moments of joy, surprises, member spotlights, and plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the field.

October 27 — Community
Grow your network, meet fellow museum professionals, and discover new ways to find your community within AAM.

October 28 — Advocacy
Explore the issues affecting museums, the evidence that demonstrates their impact, and ways we can make the case for museums together.

October 29 — Museum Practice
Hear how museums are putting standards into practice, learn from peers, and take away ideas and tools to strengthen your own institution.

October 30 — Learning
Learn, connect, and put ideas into action through engaging professional development designed for the realities of museum work today.
Come for one session, one afternoon, or all four days. Member Week is designed to let you participate in whatever is most valuable to you.
Registration opens soon. Space will be limited, so save the date now: October 27–30.
AAM Member Week is free and exclusively available to AAM members. Not yet a member? Join AAM to be part of it.
