Fossil preparation and conservation is frequently thought of as preparing a specimen for research and exhibition - but it is also instrumental in preparing a specimen for a wide variety of science communication, education, and outreach activities. Every step of the paleontological process is an entry point for outreach, from making photogrammetric models of dig sites from the air to creating mobile exhibit trailers that can extend the reach of any institution. The 2027 AMMP symposium seeks to ensure that the practice of fossil preparation is undertaken with outreach in mind from the outset, not as an afterthought. To that end, symposium presenters have been encouraged to present on a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to:

• 3D Printing
  
• Replica Casting & Molding
  
• Traveling Exhibitions
  
• Teaching Kits
  
• Photogrammetry
  
• Social Media & Virtual Outreach
