WMA Roadshow - California This fall, rather than host our traditional Annual Meeting, WMA will partner with 4 state museum associations to run small, safe, in-person pop-up museum professional development events in 4 different cities. Following local health and safety guidelines, these half-day experiences will include learning and networking opportunities. State museum associations are a crucial partner in WMA’s effort to help museum people reconnect, learn, and support one another in person once again. We are excited to partner with the California Association of Museums for the WMA Roadshow at the Oakland Museum of California! Limited capacity: For safety and comfort, attendance will be capped for each event. When capacity has been reached, we will begin a waiting list. Should any spots open up the next person in line will be notified. To ensure your seat, register today!
