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
<https://www.lafcon.org/tracks> 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
