Online Northwest is pleased to announce we will be hosting an in-person
conference on *April 10, 2026*. It will be held at the University of
Oregon, Portland Campus <https://maps.app.goo.gl/t1zSq8UKgfvrxef89>.
We invite proposals for 30-minute and 45-minute sessions, trainings, or
panels on the theme: *Re: Community - Reimagining Connections, Reframing
Communications, and Redefining Collaboration.* Presenters will be given a
reduced registration rate to attend the conference. For more information,
please visit our website <https://onlinenorthwest.org>.
The Program Committee is open to session proposals that explore areas of
this theme in a variety of contexts. The committee welcomes proposals from
library professionals at any level and from all libraries. We welcome work
that is in progress, inspires us to explore areas in which we are not
experts, and will help us grow as professionals and libraries.
There are many paths for sharing experiences, and we are able to
accommodate a multitude of formats including (but not limited to) panel
discussions, social/networking gatherings, and presentations. Please be
aware that we are not offering hybrid or recorded options. There will be a
reduced registration cost for presenters.
Want some inspiration or a place to start? Potential topics include, but
are not limited to:
- Reviewing the “unwritten” aspects of library and archives work – why
we do what we do
- Navigating change – with projects, systems, structures, and more
- Explorations – new processes, platforms, services, and interactions
- Updates about pilot projects or early research
- Collaborations and communities – supporting each other and fostering
growth
Proposals will be accepted until 5pm on *December 16, 2025*. To submit a
proposal, follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OnLineNWProposals
Thank you for your time and if you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me!
