#ARCSConf 2019 Session Previews
Head on over to the ARCS webpage to get a preview of some of the great sessions on offer at our biennial conference in Philadelphia, PA November 7 – 9, 2019.
If you’re starting out in your profession you’ll love the session about Transitioning a Job into a Career and the Emerging Museum Professionals Roundtable.
Looking for new ways to do things? Perhaps the session on Using Business Tools and Strategies to Create Collections Management Processes, or hearing how the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum digitized their collections records will give you new insights.
These are just a sampling of the many sessions this year that cover everything from shipping to insurance to planning a move. If you haven’t already done so, register now for #ARCSConf 2019.

You can have a day of professional assistance for FREE! That's certainly worth taking the time to write up a proposal, right? More information about what you need to include in your proposal and what ARCS will provide can be found on our website.
