About the Annual Conference

CLHO's annual conference attracts well over 200 museum professionals, board members, students, volunteers, and history enthusiasts representing more than 400 museums, historical societies, historic sites, libraries, archives, and organizations in allied fields.

Our full-day conference includes:

• keynote presenters
• concurrent sessions of workshops and panel discussions
• opportunities for networking with others during lunch and throughout the day

The conference also includes an exhibitor and vendor hall where you can learn about projects, products, and services to help you and your organization.

Our popular raffle allows organizations and individuals to donate outstanding gifts that bring awareness to their work, joy to the lucky winners, and added support to CLHO.

Upcoming Conference

The 2020 conference will be replaced by CLHO Summer School, an online webinar series to take place summer 2020. Stay tuned for more information.

2020 Annual Conference Cancelled

Due to the coronavirus, we will be unable to hold our 2020 Annual Conference on June 1 at Central Connecticut State University as planned.

We believe our theme of "Stewardship 2020: Caring for the Past in an Uncertain Future" has proven itself to be incredibly important, given the current world situation.

So, we will be transforming our conference into a new webinar series we're calling CLHO Summer School. We'll be bringing you the knowledge and expertise of our conference presenters on a range of topics relevant to our current moment.

More information will be available soon!
