ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

With constant change in user's information needs and expectations, this
conference will address these questions:

   -

   What are the essential soft and technical skills librarians and
   information professionals need?
   -

   What are potentially disruptive technologies that may have significant
   impact on how we work?
   -

   How can we develop collaborative partnerships with our peers and vendors
   to support our user’s needs and expectations and develop our essential
   skills?
   -

   Are there ways to anticipate change and have a plan to pivot your career
   path?
