When: Thursday, June 20th, 2019 5:30 to 7:30pm Where: Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts 264 South 23rd Street Philadelphia PA 19103 Socials are a wonderful way for you to build relationships with fellow registrars and collections specialists in your area. They are casual,(no sales pitches!) and fun. AND bring your business card, because at every ARCS Social there is a drawing for a free one-year ARCS membership! Along with our gracious sponsors for the evening, Atelier Storage Philadelphia and Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts, we hope to see you there!

If you’re starting out in your profession you’ll love the session about Transitioning a Job into a Career and the Emerging Museum Professionals Roundtable. Looking for new ways to do things? Perhaps the session on Using Business Tools and Strategies to Create Collections Management Processes, or hearing how the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum digitized their collections records will give you new insights. These are just a sampling of the many sessions this year that cover everything from shipping to insurance to planning a move. If you haven’t already done so, register now for #ARCSConf 2019.
