The unique virtual structure of the conference will allow participants to attend all sessions, dig deep into a particular track, or mix and match a program that meets their needs. Session speakers will be available live throughout the conference via scheduled office hours. Conference topics will include: outreach, donor research, grants, legislation, coalition building, digital tactics, and marketing. This year we're even adding a book banning and censorship track where you'll meet some of the organizations fighting against these unprecedented attacks.

Immediate Support for the Library Industry
In order to build a strong advocacy network, EveryLibrary believes that we need healthy library associations and support organizations. The advocacy strategies learned at this conference will provide tools to support the long-term health of libraries and associations, but short-term financial help is needed too. We will donate $20 of every registration to state library associations (or a national library association if outside the United States) in order to help these associations weather difficult financial times.

Converse, Share, and Prepare for the Future
Conversations and idea exchanges are one of the most vital parts of any conference, and that should not change even in a virtual setting. We will be using a brand new platform for this year's conference to allow our attendees and speakers to talk and share throughout the conference.  We want this conference to provide a dedicated community of colleagues and advocates with the tools you need to take action and make sure that all libraries can thrive and position themselves for stable funding in an uncertain future.
Speakers and other information will be announced soon. Register to keep up with the latest information (lafcon.org)
