Fall Conference
2025 ACG Fall Conference
Join us on October 9th for the Argus Annual Gathering. The event kicks off with an opening reception for the former Director of the Argus Museum, Cheryl Chidester, and features her Photographic Show. On Friday, enjoy the day exploring beautiful Ann Arbor and then regroup at the museum for dinner and presentations. Remember to bring your favorite Argus Camera to enter the Annual Photo Contest. Saturday will include more presentations, the announcement of the photo contest winner, and a live and silent auction.
Presentation submissions can be sent to director@argusmuseum.org.
