About the Conference
The annual SMA conference attracts more than 300 museum professionals, board members, and volunteers from a wide variety of small museums. They attend sessions on topics ranging from collections and education to staffing and board issues. Our Resource Hall, swag bag, and informal networking opportunities give sponsors and exhibitors an opportunity to talk with (and get ideas from!) conference attendees.
