MAC 2025 Annual Meeting Logo - Serving It Up Minneapolis

2025 Annual Meeting:
Minneapolis, MN, April 10-12, 2025

The Midwest Archives Conference will hold its 2025 Annual Meeting on April 10-12, 2025 at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minneapolis is one half of the “Twin Cities” along with the state capitol, St. Paul. Minneapolis is known for its lakes and parks, as well as the Mississippi River, which runs through both downtowns. We plan to roll out our best “Minnesota Nice” to welcome you to the land of 10,000 Lakes.

Our conference theme is “Serving it Up!” Minnesota is well-known for serving up its famous Hotdish around family and community tables. We invite you to join us as we explore how archivists preserve the histories and stories of communities we serve, reach across the table and collaborate, use new technologies to update policies and practices to serve up accessible collections, and stretch budgets and resources to find creative solutions to archival issues.

Check back for more information as we move closer to the conference!
