Alliance Annual Meeting

2022 Annual Meeting – Be the Change

September 30-October 1, 2022

Do you have a great idea you’d like to share with the local history community? The Alliance is now accepting session proposals for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Next year’s theme is Be the Change; and we anticipate being in-person at the Quest Conference Center just north of Columbus in the Polaris area on September 30 – October 1, 2022.

From roundtable discussions to panel presentations to workshops, 2022 sessions should explore ways museums and history organizations make a difference in their communities. We also welcome sessions on any aspect of public history theory and practice. We are considering ways to include an online attendance option, so presenters should consider whether or how their presentations could be adapted for online presentation in addition to a face-to-face delivery.

Submissions are due January 31, 2022. Deadline extended to February 18, 2022!
