Viewpoints on the VAM Conference: Michael Remorenko of MuseumRails

I have had the pleasure of working with Margo and her staff as a Resource Hall exhibitor at the VAM conferences for over 15 years, both as Design 3 and, more recently as MuseumRails. The experience has always been first rate, whether times were good for the museum profession, or we were suffering through some of our slower years. The Resource Hall has always been an excellent opportunity for us to connect with our professional friends, and current and potential clients. We have been awarded several contracts, and enjoyed a number of sales that can be directly tied back to introductions and conversations that first took place in the Resource Hall during the VAM conference.

Further, among my professional acquaintances, VAM is consistently cited as THE best of the regional museum conferences. The programs and speakers are consistently excellent. Further, the staff goes out of its way to accommodate the exhibitors and, importantly, to create opportunities and encourage conference attendees to visit the Resource Hall vendors and see what we have to offer. For anyone trying to reach Virginia (and increasingly, regional) museum professionals, I don't know of a better, more accommodating opportunity than the VAM Conference Resource Hall.



Best,
Michael
