Description

The Western Museums Association’s 2017 Annual Meeting in partnership with the Alberta Museum Association offers invaluable educational and networking opportunities for Registrars and collections related professionals. With the theme of UNITE, WMA 2017 will focus on the ways museums can unite across sectors, across communities, and across borders to work towards innovative and inclusive solutions to shared concerns. With this idea of the working together in mind, the 2017 Annual Meeting Program Committee approved many collections and registration-themed presentations within the 40 overall sessions.
