AAM Annual Conference & Museum Expo19-22 May, Baltimore, MD
www.aam-us.org
Theme: "The Power of Story"
Says the American Alliance of Museums: "Museums are great repositories of memorable stories—in our objects and their creators, in our programs and the community members who benefit from them, in our institutional histories and the people who built, developed and continue to sustain our institutions today. But story remains largely an untapped resource for most museums. When it comes to education, advocacy, community engagement, public relations or fundraising, the core story is sometimes poorly told, or even overlooked altogether."
AAM’s 107th Annual Meeting will explore the elements of a great story, the techniques for good storytelling, ways to measure the impact of story on audiences and how to employ storytelling to achieve museums' immediate goals and fulfill their long-term missions as core educational and community institutions.
