Celebrating 50 Years of TAM Conferences! 

TAM will be celebrating its 50th conference anniversary with the TAM 2025 Annual Conference in Austin, Texas, from April 6th to April 9th, 2025

The roots of efforts to organize Texas museum professionals can be traced back to 1939. Shortly after the 13th annual Texas museums conference in 1974, the Texas Association of Museums was officially created. Our first official conference as the Texas Association of Museums was hosted in 1975 in San Antonio. 

Mark your calendars for this landmark event as we commemorate half a century of supporting and promoting excellence in Texas museums.
