The National Museum Publishing Seminar is the only program of its kind in the world: a conference by and for museum publishing professionals, widely defined: freelancers, firms, and institutional staff; newcomers and veterans; from small galleries to comprehensive national organizations; from children’s, science, art, nature, history, or any other flavor of museum.

Submit a proposal for NMPS 2025! We welcome 60-minute session proposals of a variety of formats: panel, discussion, workshop, networking event, lecture—or feel free to suggest something new! Planning Committee members can help connect you with other potential panelists or organizing partners, so please contribute your ideas even if the session is not yet fully shaped. The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2024.
