On October 15–16, 2025, the American Alliance of Museums will host The Museum Summit, a global virtual event exploring urgent questions surrounding this year’s themes—Mission, Values, and the Politics of Pressure and The Next Era of Volunteerism—speak directly to the challenges museums face in the current political climate. The virtual event brings together hundreds of museum professionals from across the field and around the world to address the challenges of staying relevant to diverse audiences, remaining resilient amid political and financial pressures, and becoming more deeply rooted in the communities they serve. For the National Emerging Museum Professionals Network (NEMPN), the Museum Summit’s themes resonate deeply with our mission.

Thank you for being a part of our community and making the museum field a truly supportive space…
