Possible session topics include, but are not limited to:
- All things digital (access, preservation, new technologies, etc.)
- Archivists in non-traditional settings (e.g., private archives, consultants, corporate)
- Career planning/advice
- Cataloging and metadata
- Collections management
- Conservation
- Donor relations/cultivation
- Exhibits on a budget
- Fostering a diverse and inclusive profession
- Fundraising and grant writing
- Invisible or contingent labor
- Processing
- Promoting collections
- Records Management
- Reference
- Repository round-up (short updates on projects presented at past conferences)
- Special projects
- Web archiving, preserving social media

Creative ideas and collaborative sessions are strongly encouraged - please feel free to use the MAA 2025 Session Proposal Collaboration spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HmkRuRMi1OA20eYcpsFamAducLs2_W3Uf1dzMKz0RIc/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0) to connect!

To submit a proposal, please complete the MAA 2025 Annual Meeting Session Proposal form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfraBRaqrf2DhfTmSzeXPxTlZKHfX7ajbM2r3gT7L6nohFa9Q/viewform). Proposals are due January 10, 2025.

There will be a separate call for the poster session proposals in early 2025.

Thank you and please feel free to spread the word ... and volunteer others! We are happy to contact people to fill in our program, so if you know someone working on an interesting project, please let us know. You do not have to be an MAA member to present at the meeting.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you!
