About the Theme
Join us in Oakland's Jack London Square in 2023 to explore the concept of On Common Ground, March 8–11, 2023. 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.

Conference Program
All case studies and panel sessions are included in conference registration. Pre-conference Workshops, Dialogue Lunches, post-conference tours, and networking events will require additional registration and fee, with limited capacity. Any additional costs are listed in the conference program. All activities subject to change.

Code of Conduct
CAM is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning and networking experience for everyone. The Code of Conduct outlines expectations and consequences for violations.

Safe Programming
CAM is excited to offer in-person programming on this scale again for the first time since 2020, and know how eager many of you are to gather together. We will not be requiring proof of vaccination, but highly encourage vaccination and boosters. For the health and safety of our colleagues, masks are also encouraged (but not required). Capacity and event spaces have been thoughtfully considered in the planning of this event, and we encourage you to explore the outdoor areas, East Bay harbor breezes, and water views for your lunches and breaks when possible.
