Theme: RE/FOCUS Lights, Camera, Re/Focus! Join us in La La Land for a blockbuster experience at AMMC Los Angeles, October 26-29, 2026, a conference designed to help you bring your membership program into sharp focus. As our landscape continues to evolve, membership programs must adapt: what worked yesterday needs a fresh lens for tomorrow. This is your eureka moment—a chance to refocus, reframe, and reconnect with your peers. Whether you’re tightening the frame on membership best practices, exploring new technologies, or refining your community-building strategies, AMMC LA will give you the tools, insights, and inspiration to elevate your program.
Together, we’ll explore and re-evaluate current methods, bridge connection gaps, and rediscover that sometimes what’s old can be new again. Step into the director’s chair and learn from peers who are producing real impact—creating belonging, driving engagement, and generating sustainable revenue in innovative ways. The future of membership is ready for its next act - and it begins with re/focus. Now in its 44th year, the American Museum Membership Conference continues to set the standard for excellence in membership-based fundraising, offering industry-leading trend analysis, training, communication, mentorship, and support for museum professionals everywhere.
