Alliance Annual Meeting
2024 Annual Meeting – Truth and Consequences
Quest Conference Center, Columbus, October 4-5, 2024
Join us for our Annual Meeting, organized around the theme Truth and Consequences.
Sessions and speakers will discuss how that theme relates to the work of our member organizations in collecting, sharing, and commemorating Ohio’s local history. View the conference brochure for a complete list of sessions.
**CHANGE TO PUBLISHED SCHEDULE!** We have been able to add an exciting opportunity for conference-goers to visit the Ohio History Connection’s new Collections Care Center! The curators will be hosting an open house on Friday, October 4, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. Conference participants will be able to roam from room to room and step in approximately 6 feet into the collection storage rooms. Participants will need to provide their own transportation from the Quest Conference Center to the Collections Care Center (located at 800 East 17th Ave, Columbus). *This opportunity replaces the Ice Cream Social shown in the brochure mailed in July and posted here.*
