CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

You are invited to the Association of African American Museums 2008 Annual Conference to be held August 27 – 30 in Chicago, Illinois!

For thirty years, the Association has helped shape the African American museum experience through the celebration of history, diversity, culture, environment and identity. The AAAM 2008 Annual Conference provides opportunities to reflect upon the Association’s impact on the profession, reinvest in museum best practices, and revitalize the commitment to professionalism. Understanding industry parameters is a primary goal.

Sessions will address the conference theme: reflection, reinvestment and revitalization. Utilizing these topics, sessions will emphasize watershed exhibitions featuring proficient curatorial practices such as "Field to Factory," or profile successful development campaigns which reinvest in the growth of an organization, and programs that revitalize professionalism in all manner of museum operations.

Our institutional host will be the DuSable Museum of African American History. Join us in the Windy City in 2008 as we learn about innovations in areas such as collections management, interpretative practices and administrative strategies.
