Thank you for your interest in proposing a program for the 2019 OLA-WLA Conference, to be held April 17th - 20th at the Vancouver Hilton in Vancouver, WA. Programs at the conference are educational sessions on topics relevant to the library profession. With your contribution, we hope to build a slate of content that is engaging, informative, diverse, and inspiring! This year’s conference theme is "Charting the Unknown Together" (see conference website
www.wla.org/2019-ola-wla-conference-home for more details). Submissions are open to anyone, regardless of membership status. Please complete this form and submit no later than 12:00PM, October 29, 2018. All submissions will be notified of proposal status by November 19, 2018.
General submission information:
-Be aware that it is unlikely every proposal will be accepted. Strong proposals covering similar topics may be requested to combine into one program to provide varying perspectives on the topic and to ensure that we have room on the schedule for diverse offerings. Program Coordinators will make every effort to suggest alternative opportunities as appropriate (such as panel discussions, lightning talks, poster sessions, etc.) to allow for as much engagement and collaboration as possible at the conference.
-Refer to "Tips for a Great Program Proposal" (on the conference website and here:
https://wala.memberclicks.net/assets/2019-OLA-WLA-Conference/OLA-WLA_tips.pdf) for recommendations on creating a successful proposal.
If you have questions about this process or other conference program matters, contact the Conference Committee Program Coordinators at
