Subject: Call for Session Proposals: MAC Annual Meeting - Omaha, May 2027

The Midwest Archives Conference will hold the 2027 Annual Meeting on May 13-15, 2027, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information about the host and the conference, see the <https://midwestarc.memberclicks.net/2027-annual-meeting> meeting website<https://midwestarc.memberclicks.net/2027-annual-meeting>.

Theme: Bridging New Frontiers
Situated at the crossroads of the Missouri River, our host region has long been defined by connection, departure, and discovery. Here, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge connects Nebraska and Iowa, and historic paths like the Oregon and Mormon Trails once launched bold journeys west.
The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals, first-time presenters, and colleagues from non-academic institutions. A MAC membership is not required. Presenters may submit more than one proposal but may present only one session OR poster. We want to hear from the solo archivists or from those with more limited institutional support!
To facilitate collaboration among those brainstorming session ideas, the Program Committee encourages use of the <https://www.facebook.com/groups/9031391258/> MAC Facebook page<https://www.facebook.com/groups/9031391258/> and this <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zm5IFaTIp4CQNEUrMYmDo0v1QEuCpSeA/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112890092636693320386&rtpof=true&sd=true> spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zm5IFaTIp4CQNEUrMYmDo0v1QEuCpSeA/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112890092636693320386&rtpof=true&sd=true> for brainstorming session proposal ideas.
Proposal Submission
The deadline for submitting session proposals for the 2027 MAC Annual Meeting is Friday, October 23, 2026 at 5pm CT. Use the <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_h0HnS5GlwOz6QYdIoaWT_7KYWgk6Ls27lXqk--izpsQmbw/viewform?usp=publish-editor> Call for Proposals form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_h0HnS5GlwOz6QYdIoaWT_7KYWgk6Ls27lXqk--izpsQmbw/viewform?usp=publish-editor> to submit your proposal.
