MSA Conference & Expo 2016

Connect, learn and do business at the MSA Expo.

As a museum store professional you find yourself doing a balancing act every day, performing a variety of functions and responsibilities. You balance inventory control, staff and volunteer management, merchandising, displays, financial management and even event planning. At the same time you must stay apprised of all that’s happening at your institution—exhibitions, educational programming, the collection and the needs and desires of your executive director and trustees.

The 2016 MSA Conference & Expo this April 15 – 18 in Atlanta, Georgia, brings together hundreds of vendors and buyers to meet, learn, find and buy new products your customers will buy. The three day Conference is full of information-rich sessions that provide a wealth of knowledge from a deep dive into trademarks and copyrights to getting and keeping a seat at the decision-making table. The Expo is a very special opportunity to browse the hundreds of vendors that specialize in products that are perfect for museum and cultural institution stores. You will have the opportunity to meet with experienced vendors who understand the world of nonprofit retailers and what they need. You will also have the opportunity talk about creating custom products that support your store’s mission and stand out from the rest of the crowd. Don't forget to sign up for exciting and educational Learning Excursions chosen to showcase some of the great paces to visit in Atlanta!
