41st Annual SMA Conference

This year, our conference will address the theme "Make It Happen." Is there an exhibit, program, or fundraiser that you've been talking about doing for years? Do you feel stuck because of procrastination, lack of board support, or insufficient funds? It's time to take action!

At SMA 2025, small museum professionals will share their tips and tricks of how they made it happen!
