[BCMA] Request for Proposals: BCMA Conference Location 2026 and beyond

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

 Showcase your community’s museums, galleries, arts, and heritage to
cultural professionals from every corner of the province by hosting the BC
Museums Association’s annual gathering. Each fall the BC Museums
Association (BCMA) holds an internationally-recognized provincial
conference in a British Columbian community, bringing together museum,
heritage, arts, and cultural professionals and volunteers to connect,
learn, network, and explore innovation in the sector.

Host communities will have the opportunity to showcase the work, community
impact, and partnerships to an audience of between 100-400 delegates from
across BC and beyond.

We are open to creative and innovative suggestions from the arts, culture,
and heritage sector that range from traditional conference experiences
bringing people together in large hotel spaces, to non-conventional venues
and event formats, to place-based digital/hybrid conference experiences, to
new strategic partnerships with peer organizations, to smaller multi-day
workshops in remote and rural communities. For the next three years, our
goal is to experiment with new models, get feedback from members, and
innovate our conference model to be more impactful, engaging, and
accessible.
