Conference Registration

October 13-15, 2021

SCLA is going virtual again for this year's annual conference! The 2021 virtual conference will be held on Wednesday, October 13 through Friday, October 15th.

The conference theme is “REFRESH.” Initially, this theme was developed earlier in the year to reinforce that we are all in this together. Through SCLA, we can create connections across the state to learn from each other and to advocate together. The pandemic has created a new meaning for this conference. We continue to adapt to the new world order. Tell us what changes you made and how things going. Tell us what new technologies you implemented and how it helped you and/or your patrons. Tell us what challenges you are facing and how you are working through them. Let’s learn together because we are all in this together!

Registration will open in June.
