Annual Meeting

Networking Events

The networking opportunities at an in-person offer the perfect setting to advance your practice and forge professional relationships that can support you through every phase of your career. In addition to the break time between sessions, this program will hold several networking events. All events are included in the registration fee unless otherwise indicated. 

* Please Note: We have scheduled networking events each evening to provide attendees with opportunities to engage with their colleagues and build their networks. If your firm is planning to hold a private event, please schedule it so it does not conflict with the already scheduled program activities.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the United States and a thriving cultural center for the Bay Area. The remarkable collection of painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, design, and media arts, is housed in an LEED Gold-certified building designed by the global architects Snøhetta and Mario Botta. In addition to multiple gallery floors, SFMOMA offers 45,000 square feet of free, art-filled space.

SFMOMA believes the art of our time is vital and shares it with passion and purpose, and that art and the creative process can open minds and help build a better world. For that reason, they have assembled unparalleled collections, create exhilarating exhibitions, and develop engaging public programs that connect with the community.

We know our evening at SFMOMA will be a memorable event for our attendees and their guests. AHLA attendees will have exclusive access to the museum and the permanent collection. The reception will include great food (a buffet dinner) and drinks, providing the perfect setting for AHLA members to gather as a community and reconnect. We hope you will make a point to join us for this great networking opportunity. It promises to be a wonderful evening! The museum is a quick 4-minute walk from the conference hotel. Attendees, faculty, and registered adult, teen and youth guests are welcome. Casual attire is appropriate for the evening event.
