INNOVATION ABOUT AMMbecome the unexpected connecting people and ideas in eight states

AMM is a not-for-profit membership organization providing advocacy, professional development, and resources to museum professionals, board members, and volunteers in an eight-state Midwest Region. AMM is an invaluable resource to help you expand your client base by making connections and creating long-lasting partnerships.

Becoming involved in AMM through sponsorships, corporate memberships, advertising, and conference exhibition is an excellent and economical way to reach new clients and renew contacts with existing ones. AMM has opportunities to promote your business during the conference and year-round including: newsletter advertising, an online Products & Services Directory, website banner ads, mailing label rentals, conference print materials, and sponsorships. Your support provides needed resources for AMM to offer professional development opportunities to advance the museum field and reinforce best practices, as well as provide important advocacy efforts on the local, state, and national levels.

Each year hundreds of museum professionals from across eight Midwestern states convene at

the Association of Midwest Museums Conference to network, learn, and explore the latest in goods

and services in the Resource Hall. This year, AMM is teaming up with the Minnesota Association of Museums to produce a conference buzzing with

professional development programs that will include dynamic keynotes, dozens of sessions, tours, museum

visits, and workshops.

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have a vibrant arts culture featuring world class museums,

galleries, and much more. The conference hotel is the newly renovated Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown,

with convenient skyway access to shopping, dining, and within blocks from the bustling business district

and popular attractions.

See you in the Twin Cities!

EXHIBITRESOURCE HALL

EXHIBIT STATIONSThe Association of Midwest Museums offers numerous opportunities for you to reconnect with existing clients,

reach prospective clients, and support the museum community before, during, and after our conference. This year’s conference theme, Innovation: become the unexpected, is perfectly aligned to vendors and

suppliers as you work in tandem with museums on projects that are highly innovative! There are multiple opportunities to reach conference participants from

eight Midwestern states, including: exhibiting, program advertising, AMM website presence, and product and

event sponsorship.

The Resource Hall includes activities designed to draw attendees to your station so you can cultivate face-to-

face relationships. A Resource Hall Kick-off Cocktail Reception, attendee breakfast, and breaks will bring museum professionals to your exhibit station, as well as provide time for socializing. This year, the dynamic interior of the Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown is

the perfect venue to innovate! Resource Hall Exhibit Stations will consist of a skirted 8’ table, two chairs, and

a wastebasket. The Resource Hall will be right where the action is—immediately adjacent to the registration

desk, as well as session rooms and the general session hall. An information packet, including pricing for

additional equipment, dedicated internet connection, electrical and telephone charges, shipping, and

storage, will be provided upon receipt of your exhibitor registration. Exhibitors receive complimentary basic

registration for two individuals (over $400 in value), and one complimentary business card sized ad in the final

conference program. A free list of attendees is available on request after the conference. Additional charges may

apply for some lunches and evening events.
