[Libs-Or] Early Registration - 2025 OLA Conference

[Brian Peters]

*2025 OLA Conference - **Early Registration Now Open!*

*Conference Highlights*

*De-escalation & Gender 101 Trainings: *The OLA Conference Committee is
thrilled to share that as part of our keynote session we are able to
provide two trainings at no additional cost to all attendees. Gender 101 is
presented by TransPonder and a great entry point for folks hoping to learn
more about gender identity and inclusion. This training lasts about 90
minutes. The de-escalation training is a 4-hr intensive training that is
great for anyone in a patron-facing position. Learn and practice skills
that can be clutch in tricky situations!

*Night at the Museum President's Reception: *This year we’ve combined the
traditional all-conference reception and president’s party into one amazing
event: Night at the Museum at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History on
the University of Oregon’s campus! Join us for snacks, a no-host bar, and a
museum all to ourselves. If MNCH sounds familiar, you might know them from
their amazing outreach work with public libraries all over the state each
summer. Here’s your chance to see their home base and the world’s oldest
and most stylish pair of shoes!

*Friday Keynote Session: *Our Friday keynote is a chat with Newbery
Award-winning, PNW author Donna Barba Higuera (The Last Cuentista,
Alebrijes, et. al.).

*Special Meals & Events:* Looking to connect with your colleagues around
Oregon? Join us for the OLA Business Luncheon on Thursday, the OLA Awards
Luncheon on Friday, the Lampman Breakfast of Champions on Friday, the
President’s Reception on Wednesday at MNCH, or the Public Library Division
dinner on Thursday evening. We have lots of great opportunities to
socialize with good food and good company.

*Sensory Space / Quiet Room*: Need a break? Visit our quiet room to retreat
from the hum of the conference. This space will be available by noon on
Wednesday through the beginning of the final round of sessions on Friday.
Please use headphones/earbuds for all media while kicking back in this
low-light, sensory-sensitive area.
