With 36 sessions, 2 keynotes, 4 evening events, 2 tours, and many new opportunities to share content with colleagues and make in-person connections, #WMA2022 will be a fun and creative gathering of museum folk.

“I found the conference overall very interesting and appreciated the level of involvement between speakers and the audience.” | “I really enjoyed the conference. I appreciated it being remote. That allowed me to attend. I appreciated the captioning making sessions accessible.” | "It's great to have collaboration and I hope it continues in the future -- between OMA and WaMA, as well as with other museum associations!!” |
