Registration

About Registration

  • Registration is only available through our online form. Instructions for registering will be provided in early 2025.
  • Member Rates: Association of Midwest Museums (AMM) members – museums, individuals, and companies – may take advantage of the member registration rates. Contact us with questions or to check the status of your membership.
  • Virtual Only Offers: Did you know that, depending on your membership level, you may also have complimentary access to Virtual Day? If you aren’t able to join us in Quad Cities this year and you are a staff member of an Institutional Member or if you are a George R. Fox Society or Individual Premium member, stay in touch with your peers by attending Virtual Only for free! Current members at these levels will receive a direct email from AMM after online registration opens, with instructions for accessing this special discount. Contact us with questions.
  • Non-Member Museum and Individual Rates: Non-member rates include a one-year individual membership in AMM. Memberships will be activated within 30 days of purchase.
  • Member and Non-Member Corporate Rates: AMM has instituted a new policy for service provider/vendor participation in our conference. For-profit service providers/vendors who wish to attend the AMM conference in person, but have not committed to sponsor or exhibit, must support the event through a base level of advertising. You will choose from registration packages that include a Midwest Marketplace Flyer Ad. Virtual Only participation does not require an additional ad purchase. If you have questions or wish to discuss other sponsorship, exhibit or advertising options, contact AMM.
  • Other Discounts: We are continuing to offer discounted registration rates for students and furloughed museum workers; see below for details. Sponsors, exhibitors, presenters, volunteers, committee members and other special guests will receive direct notifications with instructions for accessing comps and discounts.
  • Group Rates: Museums interested in sending 4 or more staff are invited to become Organizational Champion or Team Builder sponsors to access a group rate. This is a great way to show your staff you value and support them!
  • Virtual Platform: We use Sched as our all-in-one virtual platform and mobile app. Access will be granted to registered attendees prior to Virtual Day.
  • FAQ: Got other questions? Try our FAQ page or contact us by email.
