Call for Session Proposals: Omaha 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 conference, see the meeting website.
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.
Proposal Submissions
The Program Committee encourages submissions from newer professionals, first-time presenters, and colleagues from non-academic institutions. We also want to hear from solo archivists and those with more limited institutional support! MAC membership is not required. Presenters may submit more than one proposal but may present only one session OR poster. For complete details on submitting proposals, visit the Call for Session Proposals 2027 page.
To facilitate collaboration among those brainstorming session ideas, the Program Committee encourages use of the MAC Facebook page and this spreadsheet for brainstorming session proposal ideas.
The deadline for submitting session proposals for the 2027 MAC Annual Meeting is Friday, October 23, 2026 at 5pm CT. To submit your proposal, use the Call for Proposals form.
If you have any questions about the proposal process, please contact the 2027 Program Committee Co-chairs, Olivia Garrison (oliviatg@iastate.edu) and Jeff Jenson (jjenson@gustavus.edu).
