MeetUps and Happy Hours

Museum professionals are a hard working bunch, so we offer opportunities throughout the year for members and friends to gather, learn, and mix and mingle. MeetUps are special opportunities for members of VAM to go behind-the-scenes at some of our favorite sites, while Happy Hours offer the chance for anyone to gather for cold beverages and fun conversation.

Keep an eye on this page as well as our calendar and Facebook page for future events. 


Coming Soon:
Tuesday Talks:

A monthly virtual event designed for museum professionals seeking to expand their expertise and explore cutting-edge practices in the field. Each month, we delve into a different theme, covering everything from curatorial best practices to the latest conservation techniques and even exploring 'next practices' to spark forward-thinking discussions about the future of museums. This interactive series provides valuable insights and nurtures a vibrant learning community, offering ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and open discussion. Whether you're a curator, educator, or conservator, we invite you to be part of the conversation shaping the future of museums at "Tuesday Talks." 

Frequency: every 4th Tuesday, TBD

Open Office Hours:

"Open Office Hours" is a monthly virtual hangout for museum professionals seeking guidance and a sense of community. We want everyone to feel comfortable sharing their worries and challenges while also finding fulfillment and satisfaction in knowing they're not alone. We're all about embracing emotional intelligence and seizing new opportunities for personal and professional growth. Come join us for these supportive sessions where we can share, learn, and grow together as we navigate the world of museum work.
