2026 AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo

The 2026 AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo, themed "The Museum Odyssey," is the largest museum conference in the world. It explores how museums function as timekeepers, travelers, chroniclers, and seers through four programming tracks addressing time, transformation, and the field's future, plus a fifth track on Museum Essentials and Evolving Practices. Aligned with the U.S. 250th anniversary, the conference invites professionals to reexamine the past, embrace the present, and help shape what comes next. AAM is partnering with the Museum Store Association to host a combined expo hall with 350+ exhibitors.
