As we gather for the Oregon Museums Association 2024 Annual Conference in Coos Bay, the conference theme “Ebb & Flow” acknowledges the nearby coastline while providing a metaphor to reflect on the work of Oregon’s museums today
It can feel like the sands are shifting as museums face challenges and opportunities like changing patterns of visitorship, evolving technologies, revised funding strategies, and peoples’ desire for community.
The 2024 conference will explore contemporary issues facing museums, so that together we can take the helm to identify solutions and successfully steer our work forward
Whether you are an emerging professional just getting your feet wet, in the mid-career flow, or an established leader navigating the depths of museum work, we invite you to join us at The Mill Casino Hotel in Coos Bay, September 8-10, 2024.

Museums exist to cultivate connections. Museums educate visitors, preserve objects, tell stories, create intrigue, and generate curiosity while providing an accessible, relevant, credible space for these exchanges to occur.
It’s a tall order to cultivate varied connections within our communities, which requires continued reflection, learning, resources, change, and intentional engagement. As we approach the United States’s 250th anniversary, let’s reflect on how museums are sites for conversations and civic involvement, how representation can connect rather than fragment people, how museum professionals create a sense of shared identity, and even how museums are simply powerful, tangible, places within our communities.
How are you cultivating connections
We hope you will join us at the 2024 Annual Conference hosted by the Utah Museums Association in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums.
