Mark your calendars for the Table Talk session at SEMC2023. This year Table Talk will take place on Sunday, November 12, from 8:00 to 9:30 pm at the E&S Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky. Transportation to and from the event will be available.

First introduced at SEMC2022, “Table Talk” invites museum practitioners to engage in dialogue around provocative topics regarding the industry as a means of challenging the status quo and broadening people’s perspectives about the field as a whole. These critical conversations aim to push individuals beyond the limits of business as usual, and into more intentional and innovative thought processes to reimagine museums. Plan to join the 2023 session for real conversation about the real work that needs to happen in this field.

Greetings, SEMC Members!

I hope this message finds you well and getting ready for a spring full of field trips, exhibitions, and special programming at your respective museums. Your SEMC Leadership Council and Committees have been hard at work over the last few weeks on a variety of topics. On March 2–3, the Program Committee and Council met at our annual midyear meeting to review session proposals, set the conference schedule, review financials, discuss conference logistics, and develop plans to further your regional organization.

I think you will agree that SEMC 2023 in Louisville is shaping up to be a fantastic conference. The local host committee, program committee, and local community partners have crafted an outstanding schedule of events, sessions, and programs that will speak to a wide variety of issues facing the field today. I hope you will make plans to join us in Kentucky in November!

In closing, I am always impressed by the wide variety of excellent work, thoughtful exhibitions, and programming being produced by professionals across the region. We are doing great and important work across the southeast and are moving the needle in many areas of our field. Thank you for all of your hard work and I continue to be grateful for your trust in electing me to the presidency of the conference.

Have a great spring and take care!

Best,

— Matt S. Davis , SEMC President
