The Association of Midwest Museums is collaborating with the Ohio Museum Association to hold their annual conference this September / October at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland, OH. The conference includes an opening reception at the Great Lakes Science Center and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, educational sessions, lectures, workshops, and tours of  cultural institutions in the Cleveland area such as the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. This is a great networking opportunity, allowing aspiring museum professionals like ourselves to connect with local and national professionals at various institutions.
