Known for its creative programs and exciting evening events, SEMC’s “all in one” registration encourages informal interaction between sponsors and meeting participants in the Expo Hall and at evening events and luncheons. Last year SEMC welcomed 700 attendees to the SEMC2023 Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky.

SEMC serves professionals at all career levels representing museums of various size and focus. Museum leaders from different disciplines attend the Annual Meeting including directors, curators, registrars, exhibit designers, fundraisers and educators. Every type of museum is represented including art, history, historic house/sites, science/technology, military and maritime, natural history, and children’s/youth museums, as well as specialized interest and culturally specific museums.

SEMC’s Annual Meeting is the perfect format for businesses to directly reach museum decision‐makers. SEMC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by membership and contributions.
