What’s Different Than Last Year?

A LOT!

“Connections Summit” has been changed to “Connections” because we are focusing on more meaningful conversations and building relationships.  

 

Day Two offers more choices than previous years. Instead of one track all day long, you can customize your learning path by choosing the sessions most applicable to you, your library, and your software. 

Product sessions have been extended with more focus on training and answering questions. 

 

We’ve included an entire day dedicated to discovery. 

 

Discord: Channels are set up to join the conversation, hang out with fellow librarians, and make connections.

What Will I Learn?

On Opening Day, you’ll delve into topics around generative artificial intelligence, creating safe spaces, and navigating change and hardship—to name a few.
