About AAM 2025

Museums & Trust

In an era marked by mistrust and misinformation, museums have long inspired high levels of public trust, and this continues to hold true in our contemporary information ecosystem. Museums hold a unique position in society as stewards of knowledge, culture, science, and history—areas where credibility and reliability are paramount. 

Museums earn this trust in various ways. By increasingly embracing inclusive decision-making processes and collaborating with communities, they present diverse narratives and viewpoints, reflecting the complexities of human history and society. In upholding the museum field’s standards and ethics, they commit to principles like transparency, integrity, and accountability. They also bridge the gap between complex concepts and public understanding by disseminating cutting-edge research and scholarship.

At the 2025 AAM Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo we’re gathering for rejuvenation and inspiration so that you are invigorated to play a critical role in the future of the museum field. You’ll join an incredible cadre of professionals with the same drive to propel the field forward, creating solutions to the biggest challenges facing museums today. AAM 2025 is the only event of its kind that brings together the entire museum ecosystem to collaborate across disciplines to tackle our most pressing issues.

On May 6-9 we will be converging in Los Angeles, CA. Los Angeles stands out as one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the US. It serves as a hub for innovation and progress and is home to a rich array of museums and cultural institutions committed to authenticity, representation, and inclusion, which enhance trust.

Whether you miss having spontaneous hallway conversations, diving deep into challenges and opportunities with colleagues, exploring museums together, reconnecting at a happy hour, or getting your hands on new products in the MuseumExpo, you have a place at AAM 2025.
