If you want to participate on either side of the connection, sign up now at https://ncph.org/conference/conference-connections/.
Seeking Speed Networking non-rotators. If you want to be of service and get on the Program at NCPH 2025, we are seeking established public history professionals to serve as “non-rotators” during our Speed Networking event on Thursday, March 27, 2025 from 10 am – 12 pm in Montréal. We’ll ply you with coffee, you’ll sit and chat with small groups of students and emerging professionals about your public history job, and they’ll get an overview of the options available to public historians as they navigate their early careers. Please sign up with your interest to serve at https://ncph.org/conference/speed-networking-non-rotator-sign-up/. (Note: Because students already have access to advice about academic positions via their own advisors and professors, we’re looking to prioritize folks in non-academic positions for this event.)
Apply for Public History + ?: A Creative Showcase. Calling all creatives! “Public History + ?: A Creative Showcase” invites NCPH Annual Meeting attendees with a creative practice (related to their public history work or not) to share their work with their colleagues. The Creative Showcase will take place Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 10am – 2pm. We encourage creatives of all stripes to apply to the NCPH 2025 Creative Showcase in Montréal.
