 The National Council on Public History holds an annual meeting each spring for professionals, students, faculty members, and anyone else interested in public history. The conference provides professional development through an abundance of sessions, plenaries, and workshops; presents opportunities for networking through special events and an exhibit hall; and connects conference attendees to the community through tours and keynote speakers.

"This spring I went for the first time to the National Council on Public History conference, this year in Louisville.
"I have never in my life attended such a varied, vibrant and unpretentious conference gathering. Only about 1/3rd the attendees were academic historians. The rest were state and federal employees, archivists and museum workers, school teachers, impassioned civilians. What brought them together is that they were all doing history, and in many cases very fine history indeed. There was none of this "let me look at your name tag and see if you are worth talking to" nonsense, it was more "let me talk to you and find out what cool stuff you are doing." I had a great time and was very impressed.
"They have a peer-reviewed journal and a newsletter and professional standards and all of that, plus passion and fun."
