The BCMA announced in March that our 2025 Nanaimo conference is being postponed until 2026.

Global uncertainties and an extremely unpredictable economic landscape are making it more difficult than ever for not-for-profit museums, galleries, and cultural institutions to plan for the immediate future. In order to ensure that we can offer programs that meet members’ needs and financial capacities, support the sustainability of the BCMA, and ensure that we have sufficient time and resources to celebrate the work of partners in our host community, BCMA Council and Staff have decided to postpone this year’s event.

We look forward to developing accessible and timely opportunities throughout the coming year to bring members together. While it’s more important than ever to find connection and peer support, we also recognize that professional development budgets are stretched increasingly thin. If you have ideas or suggestions on how the BCMA can support you, we welcome member feedback – please contact us at bcma@museum.bc.ca
