Greetings,
Registration is still open for the online 2020 Charleston Conference. Don’t miss out on the premier international conference for librarians, publishers, and vendors.
Schedule Highlights:
The agenda begins with an Exploration Day on Monday, November 2, designed to give attendees time to explore the online event platform, set their agendas, schedule private meetings, and mark vendor booths to visit.
On Tuesday, November 3, we have a dedicated vendor day, with our virtual Vendor Showcase running all day long, 20-minute Vendor Info Sessions running throughout the day, and Focus Groups scheduled for the late afternoon. Although we encourage voting ahead of time if possible (check deadlines here), the day is designed to ensure that U.S. attendees have time to come and go to visit the polls for Election Day. Please vote!
The main conference goes from Wednesday, November 4, through Friday, November 6, with a keynote presentation each day, along with concurrent sessions, lively discussions, sponsored sessions, social events, virtual tours, and more!
