🌟 What an unforgettable experience! 🌟 Hosting the #ASTC2024 Annual Conference in Chicago was a true celebration of how science centers and museums can drive global change. The conference was filled with extraordinary moments like the Evening of Inspiration hosted at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, the opening plenary where I presented the ASTC Fellow Award to my dear friend and colleague Linda Conlon, a discussion with H Fisk Johnson about our collaboration with SC Johnson on The Blue Paradox and the numerous insightful conversations I had with people from all over the world. We capped off the event yesterday with a remarkable Museum Experience Day where Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, International Museum of Surgical Science, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and Chicago Children's Museum’s Museum joined us in opening their doors to our ASTC colleagues, offering unique experiences and truly showcasing Chicago at its best. With more than 1,880 attendees, this year’s event was the largest Association of Science and Technology Centers conference in 20 years, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together. A heartfelt thank you to the hundreds of dedicated staff, volunteers, and supporters who made this possible. Your hard work ensured the success of every session, program, and event. What we’ve built here is just the start—let’s keep the momentum going to inspire curiosity, ignite innovation, and empower the next generation. 🚀
