Together Again Reconnecting with Our Archival Communities We are so excited to welcome you to Salt Lake City on May 12-13, 2022! Our hybrid model will allow registrants to enjoy the best of both digital and in-person conference attendance. The in-person event will be held at the brand new Pioneer Center at This is the Place Heritage Park; sessions will be live-streamed and made available for later viewing. The other half of our sessions will be pre-recorded and available online. All conference content will be available exclusively to registered attendees for the next year. After one year, conference content will be available to all CIMA members.

In-person attendance includes two lunches and a reception at Ottinger Hall at no additional cost.

Pre-Conference Workshop

Cultural Diversity Competency

We all would like to believe that we are aware of Cultural Diversity Competency (CDC), but what exactly does it stand for? Helen Wong Smith says it’s the ability to function with awareness, knowledge, and interpersonal skill when engaging people of different backgrounds, assumptions, beliefs, values, and behaviors. In this workshop you’ll be challenged to examine personal perceptions that might surprise you and, you’ll be introduced to strategies that will increase your ability to practice inclusion.

Registration Closed.
