The Schedule
The Program Committee will meet in March, and you will be notified whether or not your proposal was accepted by mid April. Short descriptions of accepted sessions are due in June. Speakers must be finalized by early September.

Off-site Sessions
In addition to the sessions held at the conference hotel, NEMA will work with area museums to create unique off-site sessions and evening events for conference attendees. If your institution is within a 60-minute drive of Burlington and you are interested in hosting a day-long or half-day off-site session or an evening reception or dinner, please contact the NEMA office at 781-641-0013 or email bj.larson@nemanet.org.

Speaker Policies
Presenters from within the museum community, including vendors and consultants who work with museums, are expected to register for the conference if they are staying beyond their session.

Presenters from other fields are welcome guests for the day of their session, but are asked to pay for any meals or events they wish to attend.

NEMA does not pay expenses or offer honoraria to presenters from within the museum community. If you have presenters from outside the field who ask for reimbursement of any expenses, you must get approval from NEMA.
