About Our Theme 

“Conversations and Curveballs: Hitting It Out of the Park in Georgia’s Museums,” challenges us to examine both the meaningful dialogues happening within our institutions and the unexpected challenges that continue to shape how we engage with our communities, collections, and each other.

We want to hear your stories of innovation, missteps, resilience, collaboration, and growth. Whether your museum hit a home run or had to pivot mid-play, your experiences can help others navigate similar journeys. Let’s come together to explore the honest, thought-provoking, and sometimes unpredictable realities of working in the museum field.
