The Southeastern Museums Conference is one of the largest and friendliest regional museum associations in the nation, representing twelve states, plus Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Known for its creative programs and exciting evening events, SEMC’s “all in one” registration encourages informal interaction between sponsors and meeting participants at evening events. In Northwest Arkansas, SEMC welcomed almost 700 attendees onsite to the SEMC2023 Annual Meeting.

SEMC serves all levels of museum professionals in primarily mid-size museums. Museum leaders in many different disciplines include directors, curators, registrars, exhibit designers and educators. Every type of museum is represented including art, history, historic house/sites, science/technology, military and maritime, natural history, and children’s/youth museums, as well as specialized interest museums.

SEMC’s Annual Meeting is the perfect format for businesses to directly reach museum decision‐makers. SEMC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by membership and contributions.
