A Call to Home: Reimagining Our Institutions
extends a special invitation to small cultural institutions in small communities. A special conference focus will address the strategic importance of creating effective partnerships, attracting visitation and promotion when you are off the beaten path, and creating unique interpretive experiences for small staff and all-volunteer institutions. The heritage preservation and creative tourism fields will have a dynamic presence in pre-conference workshops, conference sessions and related programs.

A Call to Home: Reimagining Our Institutions continues the AAAM legacy of accomplishing this in an accessible, warm and dynamic professional environment. Our beautiful host city of Baton Rouge, with its wealth of cultural resources, is surrounded by a spectrum of historic African American landscapes – from cities and small towns to rural sites and open air places of memory. We invite you to explore the linking of our diverse communities.

The information contained here is the most accurate information at press time. Program sessions, speakers, special events, and times may change. The AAAM annual conference program, which is distributed at the conference, will contain the most up-to-date conference information. Check here periodically for more updated information.
