2025 St. Louis Conference

November 18-21, 2025 Union Station, St. Louis, Missouri

Care of collections is powered through people. As stewards, our priorities can often be divided between holding onto the past and preserving it for the future, while the importance of the present moment can be out of focus. During this time of uncertainty, our present actions have never mattered more to sustaining, solidifying and affirming the important work of our field.

PRESENT tense is a time of action when collaboration between, within, among, and around colleagues, communities, cities, states and nations has profound importance. The Association of Registrars and Collection Specialists invites you to join us at our 2025 conference to share bold, ambitious, and unique actions through ideas of interconnectedness, listening, and caretaking in service of the care of our collections in the PRESENT tense.
