For many, museums serve as community anchors – as gathering spaces and vibrant neighborhood cornerstones. In those communities, museums are places to learn, to reflect and to share ideas.
But how can all museums ensure they are best serving their community’s needs? How can we empower our guests to feel ownership of the museum as their space - a place that reflects not only their story, but the greater story of humanity and our ever-changing world? How can museums continue to grow as the best stewards of our shared cultural heritage?
Join us in Akron, April 14-15 as we explore these topics and more at the 2019 Ohio Museums Association’s Annual Conference: Sharing Culture – Enriching Communities.
OMA is looking for innovative and engaging sessions that will create an interactive experience for our conference attendees.

-
Keeping up with audiences – how to reinvent the status quo to give a new experience to guests

Un-success stories – lessons learned, and how to bounce back from a less-than-successful idea
