Upcoming Conference
2024 Mississippi Museum Conference
MMA is partnering with the Mississippi Department of Archives & History and the Mississippi Humanities Council for the 2024 Mississippi Museum Conference! The conference will be held on September 16-17, at the Two Mississippi Museums in Downtown Jackson.
The FREE two-day conference provides opportunities for professional development, workshops, and networking with peers from across the state.
The 2024 Annual Business Meeting of the Mississippi Museums Association will be held during the conference at 12pm on September 17, following the final luncheon.
If you are a member or interested in joining MMA, this is a great opportunity to meet the Board of Directors, here about updates and scholarship opportunities from the organization, and let your voice be heard as we cast votes on bylaw amendments and elect Board members!
