Small Museums Working Together
Resource Hall
Thank you for your interest in the 35th Annual Small Museum Association Conference on February 17 – 19, 2019. This year our theme is Agents of Change: Leadership in Small Museums and we want to help put your business and organization on the map to small museums and professionals in the field who could use your resources to assist them in navigating a variety of situations and budgets.
By taking part in the SMA Resource Hall, you have the opportunity to meet over 300 museum leaders who are looking for your expertise to help them solve their most pressing issues.
Beyond meeting a prime audience, participation in the SMA Resource Hall is one of the best bargains in the museum conference industry. Our Resource Hall rates are always at a price that allows you to attend any conference sessions during downtime. Meal packages are also available, and The Hotel will be offering SMA Conference attendees a special room rate.
For more information, email the Resource Hall Coordinator at resourcehall@smallmuseum.org.
