Timeline for Poster Proposals 
We have room for a few more posters so additional proposals will be accepted through September 23, 2022 [use form below].

We are seeking people interested in sharing their stories, successes, and challenges with the Utah museum community through posters presenting strategies and ideas for strengthening the future of Utah museums, their programs, collections, and communities. We encourage and welcome submissions from seasoned professionals, emerging professionals, students, and museum volunteers.
