2.016 series of three online mini-conferences is scheduled for Thursday,
October 6, 2016, from noon - 3 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (view your time

Once again, the conference schedule will include keynote sessions and
crowdsourced presentations. Presentation proposals are being accepted now

proposal deadline. View the call for proposals

Abstract: As libraries shape their futures and adapt to the future needs of
their communities, what are the near and long-term trends that point to our
brightest opportunities? How can libraries support our global communities?
Engage in conversations with civic, social and education innovators as they
share their visions for libraries of the future. This dialogue will help
bring our best thinking together.
