From the call:
The LITA Program Planning Committee (PPC) is now accepting innovative and creative proposals for the 2017 Annual American Library Association Conference. We’re looking for full or half day pre-conference ideas as well as 60- and 90-minute conference presentations. The focus should be on technology in libraries, whether that’s use of, new ideas for, trends in, or interesting/innovative projects being explored – it’s all for you to propose.
When and Where is the Conference?
The 2017 Annual ALA Conference will be held in Chicago, IL, from June 22nd through 27th.
What kind of topics are we looking for?
We’re looking for programs of interest to all library/information agency types, that inspire technological change and adoption, or/and generally go above and beyond the everyday.
We regularly receive many more proposals than we can program into the 20 slots available to LITA at the ALA Annual Conference. These great ideas and programs all come from contributions like yours. We look forward to hearing the great ideas you will share with us this year.
This link from the 2016 ALA Annual conference scheduler shows the great LITA programs from this past year.
Proposals are due September 9th.
