Conference Overview
In a city shaped by innovation and reinvention, we will gather to explore how museums can confront the challenges of our time—from rising antisemitism and social fragmentation to emerging opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and renewed public trust. Together, we will spark connections that honor our histories while helping to shape the future of our field.
The Council of American Jewish Museums (CAJM) is aligning this year’s conference programming with the Association of Holocaust Organizations (AHO) to explore the shared challenges and opportunities facing our institutions today. The Zekelman Holocaust Center will serve as our primary host, grounding the convening in meaningful dialogue and shared learning.
We are also thrilled to partner with additional leading museums and historic sites that reflect Detroit’s vibrant cultural landscape, including the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Fair Lane—the historic home of Clara and Henry Ford, and the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).
