This year’s conference invites us to reflect on the powerful connections between community, culture, and collaboration. Set in a region where stories cross borders and identities are beautifully complex, TAM 2026 will honor shared heritage, resilient communities, and the ways museums create connection and belonging.

We’re looking for sessions that reflect this spirit:

✨ Spark meaningful dialogue

✨ Share community-rooted work

✨ Elevate rising voices

✨ Explore shared histories and stories across borders

We can’t wait to see what you bring to the table. Let’s gather in 2026 to learn from one another and celebrate the many ways museums unite, inspire, and reflect who we are.
