Workshops were chosen from the top rated sessions from the 2019 “Access and Identity” annual conference. During these full-day, multi-presentation low-cost workshops, museum professionals will learn from leaders in the field about current trends, best practices, and innovative program models and discuss how those programs can be best shaped to work in their communities.
