IMA Career Conversations 2026
Career Conversations is designed to connect emerging professionals, students, and those exploring a career transition with individuals currently working in the museum field. Through this interactive panel discussion, you’ll hear about a range of educational backgrounds and career journeys, gain insight into the realities of working in cultural institutions, and have the opportunity to ask your own questions. Our goal is to highlight the many pathways into museum work and the diverse experiences that shape careers in this field. Thank you to our sponsor, Western Illinois University Museum Studies Graduate Program.
