About the Theme

Museums and museum professionals have experienced extraordinary changes and opportunities in the last few years. After a virtual conference in 2021 and five mini-conferences across California in 2022, CAM is looking forward to gathering together once more with our colleagues on common ground again.

Does the meme “nobody ever made a best friend during a webinar” resonate with you? Though we still rely on many digital collaboration platforms, connecting with peers in-person is an essential part of professional development and networking. There is something magical about breaking bread with a colleague and forming a personal connection. Reboot your relationships with fellow museum workers over a buffet lunch. Catch up with an old friend, or make a new one!

5:00 PM – 6:30 PM Host Committee Welcome Reception

Location: Waterfront Restaurant & Patio

Cost: Free (registration required)

Relax and mingle with colleagues before the conference switches into high gear on Thursday morning with panels, discussions and case studies. This reception will take place onsite at the conference hotel in a flexible indoor-outdoor space. Afterwards, depart for dinner on your own at one of Oakland’s amazing restaurants.
