Apply to present at the KMA Poster Session - Applications Close September 25

KMA is pleased to announce that the application for the first-ever KMA Poster Session is now open!

This is an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to share their research with peers and museum professionals across the state.

The Poster Session is an exhibit of Poster presentations with an academic focus. Each presenter makes brief remarks and answers questions to those who are circulating in the room. The format proves an introduction for people who have never presented at a conference or who want to present new research.

Posters efficiently communicate concepts and information to an audience using a combination of visuals and texts interacting with views in an informal way. Presenters will stand by their posters throughout the poster session to offer information and engage in dialogue with conference attendees.

We are looking for engaging, innovative, creative posters that address the following issues:

• Longtime museum issues that are addressed in new and innovative ways to promote discussion and action
• Introduce innovative ideas and programs to other institutions.  These can be museum, history or art history related.
• Share successful solutions or situations that created the need to rethink and adapt
   

Requirements:

• To propose a Poster, please submit the completed form at the link below
• You must be available to present your Poster on Thursday, November 5 in Atchison, Kansas
• Poster presenters are required to be Individual KMA members -  join here.

• Poster presenters are required to register for the 2026 KMA Conference.  There is a student rate for conference registration and registration scholarships are also available.  Conference registration and scholarship applications will open in August - visit the KMA website for more information.
